Fairway Stores in Valley Meat E. coli Recall Group
Fairway Stores Inc. sold ground beef in locations throughout California that is subject to the Valley Meat E. coli outbreak still under investigation by the California Department of Public Health and other health agencies.
Fairway Stores is based in Castroville, California, and is one of the retail chains identified by USDA as a carrier of frozen hamburger patties and other ground beef products recalled by Valley Meat Company of Modesto for possible E. coli 0157:H7 contamination. The complete Valley Meat E. coli retail recall list was published by USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.
If you are a Fairway Stores customer in California who has purchased frozen hamburger patties or other ground beef, check your freezer for meat under this recall. Law firm Pritzker Olsen is concerned that more E. coli 0157:H7 infections could occur. Already, state health investigators have identified a cluster of seven cases associated with Valley Meat ground beef.
According to the August 6 recall announcement for 1 million pounds of Valley Meat Company ground beef, all packages under recall were produced between October 2, 2009, and January 12, 2010. The frozen patties and other ground beef products all are marked with USDA Establishment number EST 8268.
If you or a loved one has suffered E. coli symptoms such as bloody diarrhea and painful stomach cramps, see a physician immediately.
