MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 6 (AP) — The Sam’s Club warehouse chain has pulled a brand of ground beef patties from its shelves nationwide after four children who ate the food, produced by Cargill Inc., developed E. coli illness.
Cargill asked customers to return patties bought after Aug. 26 to the store or destroy them.
The children became ill from Sept. 10 to Sept. 20 after eating ground beef patties bought frozen under the name American Chef’s Selection Angus Beef Patties from three Sam’s Club stores in the Twin Cities area.
Sam’s Club voluntarily removed the product from its stores after the illnesses were reported, the company said.
The patties were produced by Cargill, based in Wayzata, Minn., and had an expiration date of Feb. 12, 2008, Sam’s Club said in a statement. They were coded UPC 0002874907056 Item .700141.
