Check your freezer: 132,000 pounds of ground beef recalled due to possible E. coli contamination

The Department of Agriculture wants you to check your freezer.

A Colorado-based meat producer is recalling more than 132,000 pounds of its ground beef due to possible E. coli contamination and the USDA is afraid the product could be frozen in consumer's homes.

The ground beef, which was packaged on June 21 by Cargill Meat Solutions, was identified as the probable cause behind 17 illnesses and one death in July.

This week's recall comes less than a month after Cargill recalled more than 25,000 pounds of ground beef suspected of being tainted with E. coli.

The USDA said customers should not consume any beef purchased from retailers supplied by Cargill. They can throw away the meat or return to the place of purchase for a refund.
