Sixty-three more ill people from 14 states were added to an investigation triggered by potentially tainted ground beef, bringing the total up to 120, officials said this week.
Approximately 6.5 million pounds of ground beef and other beef products, which may be contaminated with salmonella, were recalled by Arizona-based JBS Tolleson Inc. on Oct. 4. The products were produced and packaged from July 26 to Sept. 7, and sold nationwide under a range of brand names, including at Walmart and Sam’s Club.
