Two Deaths Linked to Recalled Beef
At least two deaths and 26 illnesses may be linked to ground beef recalled by a Chautauqua County company.
Ashville-based Fairbank Farms recalled nearly 546,000 pounds of ground beef because it might have been contaminated with E. coli bacteria.
A spokeswoman for the Centers for Disease Control says one of the deaths involves a person in New York who had underlying health conditions. The other is a death previously reported by officials in New Hampshire.
Locally, BJs is the only store that was selling the ground beef from Fairbank Farms. The following items have been recalled from BJs
~~ 5-pound trays of "FRESH GROUND BEEF, CONTAINS 15 % FAT" patties.
~~ 3- and 5-pound trays of "LEAN GROUND BEEF, CONTAINS 7% FAT."
~~ 2.5-pound trays of "MEATLOAF & MEATBALL MIX."
