Over 58,000 pounds of ground beef products have been recalled due to possible E. coli contamination.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the recall in a Sept. 15 notice after a sample batch of raw beef products tested positive for the potentially lethal bacteria.
