FRESNO, Calif.: A company based in California is recalling some of its beef products because of concerns about possible salmonella contamination, for the second time this year.
The US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service says Fresno-based Beef Packers Inc is pulling about 22,723 pounds of ground beef that may be linked to salmonellosis.
The products were produced on Sept 23 and bear the establishment number "EST. 31913" printed on case code labels.
Because the beef was sent to a distribution center in Arizona, officials say consumers should check with local retailers to determine whether they may have purchased any of the recalled beef.
Food safety officials say the ground beef has been linked to two illnesses.
Beef Packers spokesman Mark Klein says the company initiated the recall voluntarily and is "taking the matter seriously."
In August, Beef Packers recalled almost 826,000 pounds of ground beef contaminated with salmonellosis, the same strain that prompted the current recall. At least 39 people were sickened in the weeks before the summer recall, which included orders produced at the plant in June.
