Utah companies recalling thousands of pound of ground beef because of possible E. Coli contamination

Two Utah companies have recalled a combined nearly 100,000 pounds of meat after an inspection found evidence of E. Coli in samples of their raw ground beef.

The bulk of the meat — approximately 99,260 pounds — come from the Hyrum-based Swift Beef Co. About 530 pounds of ground beef products from the Salt Lake City-based Majestic Meat Company were also recalled, according to a news release from the United States Department of Agriculture.

Majestic Meat Company ground beef patties, bulk ground beef and 10-pound packages of beef, pork and veal meatballs that were sent to Utah restaurants were affected by the recall.
