Ground beef sold at Walmart recalled over E. coli concerns

More than 16,000 pounds of ground beef shipped to Walmart locations nationwide are being recalled. Consumers who recently purchased ground beef at Walmart need to check the labels.

The Department of Agriculture on Wednesday issued a "High-Class 1" alert warning that more than 16,000 pounds of beef shipped to the retail giant nationwide is being recalled over concerns that it could be contaminated with E. coli.

The meat was processed by Cargill Meat Solutions, which issued the recall, and is in several products that were produced on April 26-27. The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is concerned some of the packages may be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers.
