Federal and state health investigators looking into an E. coli outbreak determined that the ground beef was the probable source of 17 illnesses and one death this summer.
Those who contract this strain of E. coli can experience bloody diarrhea and vomiting, sometimes leading to a more serious infection.
People who bought the products are urged to return it or throw it out.
