First we had the Topps frozen hamburger patty recall that eventually closed the company, and now comes this.
Cargill Meat Solutions has recalled almost 845,000 pounds of frozen patties. Several cases of sickness have been reported, and the company did find E. coli in their plant. The patties are sold under the name American Chef Selection of Angus Frozen Ground Beef Patties. The meat was produced in August and has been sold in Sam's Clubs locations across the country.

I am saddened that with all of the money spent on advertisements by our government to educate people to cook their foods to proper temperatures has gone to waste and people still get sick from their food. I feel bad for those that DO get sick, but pretty much every package of ground beef in the US has a label on it with safe food handling directions. Just in case if you don't know the proper cooking temperatures of some foods, here's a link: http://www.fightbac.org/content/view/93/2
