January 15, 2008: Rochester Meat Company Recall

January 15th, 2008

According to SignOnSanDiego.com hosted by the Union Tribune:

County health officials said yesterday that they are trying to contact owners of restaurant chains that may have received beef products contaminated with a potentially deadly strain of E. coli bacteria.

A 17-year-old San Diego County girl became ill in December before a national recall of the beef was announced. She was not sick enough to require hospitalization and has recovered.

Maybe public health officials can try a bit harder at protecting the public by letting consumers know which restaurants may have received the potentially dangerous meat?

Rochester Meat Company issued a recall after five cases of E. coli O157:H7 were reported in Wisconsin and one case was reported in California.  To learn more about the recall and E. coli food poisoning and E. coli food poisoning symptoms, please see Rochester Meat Company Issues Recall For Beef Products.
