Nebraska Beef Ltd. is suing a Colorado company to settle a dispute over the liability for beef that was recalled last summer and the cost of the cattle involved.
The Omaha-based processor recalled nearly 7 million pounds of beef in two separate recalls after its products were linked to at least 76 cases of E. coli illnesses.
At least some of the recalled meat came from cattle that Loveland, Colo.-based Meyer Natural Foods LLC bought and sent to Nebraska Beef’s plant for processing from May 2008 through July 2008.
Meyer Natural Foods President Al Byers declined to comment on the lawsuit. Byers’ company includes the Meyer Natural Angus division that produces beef from humanely treated cattle that ate a vegetarian diet and never received antibiotics.
Privately held Nebraska Beef filed the federal lawsuit Friday against Meyer, seeking more than $75,000 damages.
