After five children in Napa Country (USA) became infected with E. coli after eating hamburgers at Little League baseball snack shacks, authorities have recalled approximately 100,000 pounds of frozen ground beef patties in five states. The patties were produced in April-May 2006, by Merced-based Richwood Meat Co. Inc, and are to be found in California, Arizona, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.

Just a bump to inform the members who may not have seen this recall.

I don't want anyone to get sick.

I'vebarely heard anything about this on the news, which is odd considering
I live in one of the states mentioned.

The thing I find disturbing, is that these so called hamburger patties were
made last year. Now maybe it's just me, but that seems sort of gross.

I'm glad I don't eat beef, or meat that is not locally grown for that matter.


Thanks for bringing this to everyones attention by the way.
