After testing conducted by the South Carolina Meat and Poultry Inspection Department revealed E. coli in a sample of boxed beef from Australia, two U.S. companies - G W, Inc. and Lancaster Frozen Foods - recalled almost 7,000 pounds of ground beef products made with meat sourced from the foreign producer.
We never sold the box that was contaminated but we went ahead and did a recall on everything that was in that lot number, Emily Clayton, director of operations at G W told Food Safety News.
