Sam’s Club Hamburgers Linked to E. coli Cases
Over 27 million pounds of hamburger patties have been recalled due to possible contamination with E. coli O157:H7 in the last few months. This includes a recall of 845,000 pounds of frozen hamburgers produced by Cargill. These hamburgers were distributed to retailers, institutions, and restaurants. In Minnesota, E. coli infections in 4 children have been linked to Cargill hamburger patties sold under the American Chef’s brand at Sam’s Club. Read about the Sam’s Club E. coli cases. In Wisconsin, an E. coli infection in an 18-year-old girl has also been linked to the Cargill hamburgers.

Our investigation into the E. coli outbreak linked to Cargill/Sam’s Club hamburgers suggests that an unusually high number of children who contract this strain of E. coli O157:H7 are developing hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Please e-mail Cargill hamburger recall information to all friends and family. We do not want any other children to be sickened by these hamburgers.
