A recent E. coli outbreak at Byerly's and Lunds grocery stores in Minnesota has left 7 people ill, 2 children and 5 adults. Three of the cases were hospitalized, but all have been released from the hospital. The victims all became ill between the dates of April 21 and 28. Our firm is representing victims of this outbreak.

The contaminated ground beef that caused the illnesses was all purchased from 4 grocery stores in the west metro area since April 12. Any fresh ground beef, fresh or frozen meatloaf, and ground chili meat is purchased at a Lunds or Byerly's grocery after April 7 could possibly be contaminated and should not be eaten. If someone did eat possibly contaminated meat, any extra meat should be saved for possible evidence.
E. coli can be killed through proper cooking if the meat reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, but it is easy to cross contaminate food if one is not careful with the preparation. So it is best to dispose of the possibly contaminated meat products.
