Tyson Fresh Meats Incorporated recalled more than 40-thousand pounds of ground beef today after samples tested at a Sherman, Texas, plant showed signs of E. coli contamination. Tyson says the meat was shipped to Wal-Mart stores in 12 states. No illnesses had been reported. Springdale-based Tyson says the recall is not related to contaminated ground beef distributed by California-based United Food Group L-L-C. The recalled products were sent to Wal-Mart stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. Wal-Mart has removed the products from its meat cases and is destroying the recalled ground beef still in its possession. Tyson recalled 40-thousand-440 pounds of ground beef, all of which had sell-by dates of June 13th. The ground beef was sold in prepackaged trays that were placed directly into the meat case. The recalled products include: -One-and-a-half-pound trays of Angus steak burger all natural, 85/15, six-and-a-quarter-pound patties; -One-point-three-three-pound trays of Angus steak burger all natural, 85/15, extra thick, four-and-one-third pound patties; -Two-and-a-quarter-pound trays of 73/27 all-natural ground beef; and -Five-and-a-half-pound trays of 73/27 all-natural ground beef.
