Five cases have been confirmed as part of the outbreak of Shiga-toxin producing E. coli O157, and four other cases are suspected to be part of the outbreak. The cases reported are located in Lapeer, Genesee, Isabella and Sanilac counties.
Food safety attorney Fred Pritzker said: “People who shop at McNees Meats are advised not to eat ground beef they have purchased there and to throw out any McNees ground beef that may be in their refrigerators or freezers. McNees should be held responsible for the damage their tainted product has done.”
McNees, a North Branch, Michigan establishment, recalled 360lbs of ground beef through a Food Safety and Inspection Service announcement.
The McNees beef recall was issued after authorities linked the illnesses to products sold directly by McNees to consumers, or distributed to restaurants in Armada, Lapeer and North Branch, Michigan.
