recall alert Hannaford warns consumers about recalled beef
SCARBOROUGH, Maine — Hannaford Supermarkets is warning its customers in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont to check their freezers for recalled beef.
Spokesman Mike Norton says the supermarket chain learned on Sunday that its stores may have received beef that's subject to a voluntary recall by Colorado-based JBS Swift Beef Co.
He says customers should check their freezers for any JBS Swift ground beef or beef products with sell-by dates ranging from April 28 through June 6. Hannaford will provide a refund or replacement.
JBS Swift announced Sunday it's voluntarily expanding its beef recall to include about 380,000 pounds of products because of possible E. coli contamination.

If you cook beef until it reaches an internal temp of 160 or higher it kills the e-coli bacteria!
Gixxer- If you've never had e-coli you would say that. I had it in my kidneys when i was about 12, i was in bed for about a month and almost lost a kidney. I wouldn't even take the chance!!!
I'm not saying I would eat meat affected by the recall, I meant my statement more as a great reason not to consume undercooked meat! I am very particular at making sure any red meat I eat has been properly cooked! I cannot imagine having e-coli, that sounds extremely painful.
oh it was horrible!! I know what you mean tho about undercooked meat... yet i love a bloody steak... but hamburgers, chicken and pork have to be cooked 100%... bring me my steak still mooing. Some people may STILL eat the meat tho.... (some peoples children)
I ran to check the beef chuck in my freezer...whew! Not the recalled beef! Do you guys know what E coli is? It is the bacteria that comes out of your butt when you defecate (poop). So if the meat is contaminated, that means someone was not washing their hands when they handled it! Same goes for the tomatoes and spinach a while back! If anyone shook hands with someone that had the E coli on their hands then didn't wash can pass it on too!

Or alternately, and unfortunately, the bacteria could be coming from the cow itself, which only moments before processing and packaging, had fresh poop in it.
See the movie Fast Food Nation. It's not a documentary, but based on facts, and it paints a pretty grim picture of the beef industry.
i couldn't finish that movie Markko--- when they started killing the cows i had to shut it off. I ran from the room crying. My husband was like "ummmmm...." he was pretty disgusted too.
Yes, Astrol, i know what it is all to well. And it's HORRIBLE!
