Best Deal Food Stores Among Retailers Named in Valley Meat E. coli Recall
Best Deal Food Company Inc. stores throughout California sold ground beef products subject to recall in the Valley Meat E. coli outbreak now under investigation by public health officials.
Based in Ceres, California, with stores widely distributed in the state, Best Deal Food Co. stores are included in the official retail list for the Valley Meat hamburger E. coli recall published by USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
On August 6, Valley Meat Co., Modesto, California, recalled about 1 million pounds of frozen hamburger patties and other ground beef products sold under the Valley Meat Co. brand and other brands because the meat may be contaminated with E. coli 0157:H7, a potentially deadly human pathogen.
The recalled products bear the USDA establishment number EST 8268 inside the USDA mark of inspection, produced from October 2, 2009, to January 12, 2010.
The California Department of Public Health has identified a cluster of seven E. coli O157:H7 infections associated with recalled Valley Meat ground beef products sold in California, Arizona, Texas, Oregon and internationally. If consumers have purchased Valley Meat ground beef sold at Best Deal Food stores they should check their freezers. Law firm Pritzker Olsen is concerned that unused meat subject to recall could make more people seriously ill.
Anyone with E. coli symptoms including bloody diarrhea and painful stomach cramping, should immediately contact a physician.
