MODESTO, Calif. -- A meat processor recalled about 1 million pounds of ground beef products Friday after seven people were sickened by E. coli contamination.
Valley Meat Co., of Modesto, sold the potentially contaminated beef patties and ground beef in California, Texas, Oregon, Arizona and internationally, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said.
The beef was processed from Oct. 2, 2009, to Jan. 12, 2010.
Most of the products were sold frozen and the company was working to remove them from grocery store shelves.
"This is the first recall in our history and we will investigate the matter thoroughly and take any measures deemed necessary to further elevate our safety standards, protect consumers, and ensure confidence in our products," Valley Meat said in a statement.
All of the recalled products have the establishment number "EST. 8268" inside the label's USDA mark of inspection.
