FLASH! See the latest (June 2007) beef ecoli recall.

Authorities have recalled approximately 100,000 pounds of frozen ground beef patties in five states after five children in Napa County became infected with E. coli after eating hamburgers at Little League baseball snack shacks. The patties were produced in April-May 2006, by Merced-based Richwood Meat Co. Inc, and are to be found in California, Arizona, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Hamburger patties and ground beef were sold under the brands: Fireriver, Chef's Pride, Ritz Food, Blackwood Farms, California Pacific Associates, C&C Distributing, Golbon, and Richwood.

E. Coli is one of the bacteria that line the gut of humans and animals. It also exists in raw and undercooked beef, infected water and milk. E. Coli can spread by eating contaminated food, such as undercooked beef burgers, raw vegetables which have been washed or watered with contaminated water, or drinking untreated milk or dairy products, or contact with infected animals. Symptoms of E. Coli poisoning include diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and fever.
