FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda TUESDAY, July 24 (HealthDay News) — A salmonella outbreak that
has sickened 33 people in seven states appears to be linked to recalled
ground beef produced by Cargill Meat Solutions, according to the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The numbers of illnesses reported in each state are: Maine (1),
Massachusetts (3), New Hampshire (2), New York (14), Rhode Island (1),
Virginia (2) and Vermont (10). Eleven people have been hospitalized, but
no deaths have been reported.
The ages of the patients ranged from 12 years to 101 years, the CDC
said, and illnesses arose between June 6 to June 26. According to the
agency, it takes an average of two to three weeks between the time a
person becomes ill and when the illness is reported, which means that
illnesses that occurred after June 29 might not be reported yet.
Federal and state investigators were able to link illnesses in five
patients with ground beef products produced by a single Cargill Meat
Solutions facility.
On July 22, Cargill recalled nearly 30,000 pounds of fresh ground beef
products. The products carry the establishment number “EST. 9400” inside
the USDA mark of inspection. The use-by dates of the products have passed
and they are no longer available in grocery stores. Officials are
concerned, however, that some of the recalled products may still be in
consumers’ freezers.
Consumers should check their refrigerators and freezers for the
recalled products, which were sold under different brand names and may not
bear the “EST. 9400” on the labeling. The only grocery-store chain known
to have sold the contaminated meat is Hannaford Supermarkets, which
operates about 180 stores across the northeastern United States, according
to The New York Times.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service
website has a list of stores that sold the recalled products.
Preliminary test results indicate that the salmonella strain involved
in this outbreak is susceptible to commonly prescribed antibiotics, the
CDC said.
The agency said the investigation is continuing and updates will be
released to the public as information becomes available.
