Over 16,000 pounds of ground beef produced by Cargill Meat Solutions and sold at
Walmart have been recalled due to concerns of a possible E. coli contamination.

The contaminated beef was produced on April 26 and April 27 and distributed to
Walmart stores throughout the eastern U.S., according to the U.S. Department of
Agriculture.

So far, there have been no confirmed reports of illness linked to the beef
products, USDA said. Cargill said it launched a voluntary recall out "of an
abundance of caution."

The Pennsylvania-based food distributor became concerned of a possible
contamination after discovering that "previously segregated product had been
inadvertently utilized in the production of ground beef," the agency said.

The ground beef has been sold at Walmart locations in Connecticut, Washington,
D.C., Massachusetts, Maryland, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, West
Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont and New York.
