Safeway beef may have had salmonella contamination, says USDA

Categories: Nutrition & Supplements

Safeway, one of the larger supermarket chains in the U.S., may have distributed fresh ground beef products to customers in five states that were contaminated with multi-drug resistant Salmonella, said the USDA this week.

The states included in the USDA's report were Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada and New Mexico. The potentially contaminated beef products were sold between September 19 and November 5, 2007.

If you purchased fresh beef products from Safeway in those five states in the listed timeframe above -- and perhaps froze them for later use -- you may want to discard of them safely now.

If not frozen, these products have been consumed by now, of course. Still, those who stockpile fresh meat in those larger freezers, take note.
