Canadian company recalls ground beef over possible E. coli contamination
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and Canada Safeway Ltd. are recalling some Safeway-brand ground beef due to possible E. coli contamination.
CFIA said the lean ground beef affected by the recall was sold at some Canada Safeway stores in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Northeastern Ontario.
The affected packages bear a "Best Before" or a "Freeze By" date of March 19 and were sold March 13 to 19.
The manufacturer, Vantage Foods of Winnipeg, is voluntarily recalling the beef.
