A Florida-based meat producer announced it is recalling 64,000 pounds of beef across the United States over fears that it might be contaminated with E. coli, according to a news release from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) on Oct. 18.

The Friday-posted USDA recall notice said that Pride of Florida learned that some of its ground beef tested positive for E. coli O157:H7 at its laboratory.
