CNGround Beef Recalled
Over 68,000 pounds of ground beef packaged by Palama Meat Co. were recalled recently over possible e-coli contamination. Palama, the state's largest meat processor, distributed about 4,500 cases of the suspect ground beef to retail establishments, and restaurants in Hawaii.
Affected brands include May's Teriyaki Beef Patties, May's Beef Picnic Patties and other May's brand products in boxes, trays and cylindrical plastic packaging. No illnesses have been reported in connection with the meat recall but children, seniors and people with weak immune systems are most susceptible to food-borne illnesses.
