Ground beef, buffalo recalled for E. coli contamination
USDA announced today that Custom Pack, a Nebraska firm, is recalling ground beef distributed in Nebraska and buffalo distributed in Colorado. The recall was instituted after the CDC and Nebraska health officials identified at least one E. coli illness associated with the products.
The ground beef products were produced between June 1 and June 13, 2007, and were distributed to restaurants and institutions in Nebraska. The ground buffalo patties were produced on June 7, 2007, and distributed to restaurants and institutions in Colorado. None of these products were sold through grocery stores.
I live in Nashville,Tn and i have a 20 month old little boy. He contracted Ecoli from his daycare. It cause HUS. I almost lost him twice. HUS is very dangerous and believe me things get bad before they get good. We are going on 2 months at Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital. He has dialysis every other day and he will never regain full kidney function. Its an awful thing to see your child go through. Hearing the crys for mommie when he hurts and knowing theres nothing you can do is just terrorizing. He is showing signs of improvement, but theres no telling when we will get to go home. My thoughts and prayers are with you, please remember its all in Gods hands. Just be their support system. Now i know what everyone means when they say though life things always get bad before they get good. And sometimes it will seem like you are taking 2 steps forward just to take 4 back. Believe me the 2 forward are well worth it. God bless you and your loved one with this illness.
