more bad meat

CENTRAL TEXAS
No illness yet from tainted meat
State and local health department officials said Wednesday that they have not received any reports of illness associated with a ground beef recall announced Friday by Tyson Fresh Meats Inc. of Sherman.
However, some of the 40,440 pounds of meat involved in the recall was distributed by Wal-Mart stores in the Austin area, Tyson spokesman Gary Mickelson said.
A sample of the meat analyzed by the company was found to contain E. coli O157:H7, which causes stomach cramping and diarrhea and can be deadly. He declined to provide a list of stores that received the meat, and Wal-Mart spokesman Kevin Gardner said he did not have the list.
The meat was produced June 2, and each package bears the code EST 244S as well as a "use or freeze by" code date of June 13, 2007.
Specific products being recalled include Angus steak burger patties and all-natural beef called Carne Molida de Res in various-sized trays.
Consumers can return the meat to the Wal-Mart where they bought it for a refund, Gardner said. They also can call Tyson at (800) 233-6332 for more information.
