Ground beef produced by Winnipeg-based meat manufacturer Cargill Meat Solutions have been pulled from the shelves following E.coli concerns. The extra lean ground beef, lean ground beef, and medium ground beef products under the Your Fresh Market brand were available at Walmart stores in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
Federal health officials from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency requested these products, which had an expiry date of November 28 or 29, be thrown out or returned to original store where they were purchased.
The products believed to have a risk of containing E.coli were recalled after E.coli 0157 was found in a sample taken from the ground beef ready to be packaged by Cargill Meat Solutions. E.coli can cause diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and nausea.
