The US Department of Agriculture announced over 16,000 pounds of ground beef have been recalled over potential E. Coli contamination. Cargill Meat Solutions recalled ground beef packages with an establishment ID of "EST. 86P" produced between April 26 and 27. The packages, which do not have the Cargill brand on its top packaging, had been shipped to Walmart stores across the country. Consumers who have the affected packages are advised to throw them away or return them to the point of purchase. People who show signs of E. Coli poisoning are advised to immediately seek medical attention.
