After E. coli infections in two people may have been associated with ground beef purchased at two Piggly Wiggly stores in Wisconsin, Fresh Brands Distributing is recalling certain ground beef products sold by the retailer.
The voluntary recall includes products labeled "ground chuck" and "certified angus beef ground round 85% lean," with sell-by dates from July 15 through Aug. 5, 2007. Fresh Brands officials said the beef came from suppliers and was not related to store operations.
Sheboygan, Wis.-based Fresh Brands operates Piggly Wiggly stores throughout Wisconsin and in several locations in northern Illinois.
