Time to throw out this ground beef!
The Washington State Department of Agriculture, which oversees meat safety, said the agency was"continuing to investigate this situation to identify all possible associated products that may be adulterated and in commerce and will initiate action accordingly as soon as possible to protect public health."has initiated its own investigation and contacted Interstate Meat, the company that supplied the grocer's ground beef.
Consumer Reports' testing was part of an ongoing effort to survey ground meat from several U.S. grocery stores. However, as a consumer, it's difficult to detect whether or not a product has been contaminated with E. coli. "The most pressing concern is that consumers could have this ground beef in their freezer, and very cold temperatures don't kill this bacteria," said James E. Rogers, PhD., director of food safety testing and research at Consumer Reports."And there's no way to tell if the ground beef contains the harmful bacteria by just looking at or smelling it."
While symptoms of an E. coli infection vary, they often include stomach cramps, diarrhea, fever, fatigue, and nausea, and they generally develop within two to five days. Anyone who has eaten the ground beef and developed symptoms should seek medical attention.
