E. coli concerns force recall of 13,000 pounds of beef
Lubbock, Texas
A Lubbock meat packer is voluntarily recalling more than 13-thousand pounds of ground beef after federal inspectors found that the meat may be contaminated with E. coli bacteria.
Plains Meat Company sent the beef to restaurants and distributors in Amarillo and Lubbock.
The U-S Department of Agriculture says the potential hazard was discovered through routine testing. There have been no reports of illness.
The recalled packages contain the establishment number "1429" inside the U-S-D-A mark of inspection.
