Sam’s Club recalls beef patties


E.coli - una mas tiempo!

Since my loyal readers stop here first on the weekend - don’t you? - I figured I should get this one up early. Don’t want to lose any cheapskate hamburger shoppers.

The Sam’s Club warehouse chain has pulled a brand of ground beef patties from its shelves nationwide after four children who ate the food, produced by Cargill Inc., developed E. coli illness.

Cargill on Friday asked customers to return any remaining patties purchased after August 26 to the store or destroy them.

The patties were produced by Cargill and had an expiration date of February 12, 2008, Sam’s Club said in a statement. They were coded UPC 0002874907056 Item 700141.

A Cargill spokesman said the company would have no comment until Monday.

Just because customers get sick from your products is no reason for the suits to work on the weekend. I guess.
