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.
