A Georgia company has recalled 113,424 pounds of raw ground beef that might be connected to a 10-state E. coli outbreak. The recall came about 10 hours after a CDC update on the outbreak said the investigation couldnt find commonality in the ground beef involved.
The beef from K2D Foods, working under the name Colorado Premium Foods, was headed to distributors in Florida (Fort Orange) and Georgia (Norcross) who would sell the beef to restaurants, according to the USDA recall notice. The email notification of the recall went out at 1:28 a.m. Wednesday.
