Editor’s note: The article linked in this post incorrectly states that meat from Asheville, N.C., is being recalled; the processing company is located in Ashville, N.Y.

“A New York company, Fairbanks Farms, was voluntarily recalling 546,000 pounds of ground beef.  Some of this companies products may be linked to two deaths and 26 people who reported E.coli like symptoms.

The USDA said the meat was processed and sold by Fairbanks Farms in Asheville, North Carolina Ashville, N.Y. It was distributed in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, and Pennyslvania.

Each package contains the number # EST 492.  It was packaged between September 15 and 16. They may possibly have been labeled with a date of September 19 through the 28th in which the product was to be sold.  This means that the products are no longer being sold as a fresh.”
