Ashville, N.Y.-based Fairbank Farms recalled almost 546,000 pounds of fresh ground beef that may be tainted with E. coli bacteria. The meat was distributed in September to stores from Virginia to Maine.So basically, good luck figuring out where the meat you bought came from. Business as usual.
The ground beef was sold at Trader Joe's, Price Chopper, Lancaster, Wild Harvest, Shaw's, BJ's, Ford Brothers and Giant stores. Each package carried the number "EST. 492" on the label. They were packaged Sept. 15-16 and may have been labeled with a sell-by date from Sept. 19 through Sept. 28.
Also, ground beef packaged under the Fairbank Farms name was distributed to stores in Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia. That meat was likely repackaged for sale and would likely have differing package and sell-by dates.

i would like to go one month without a recall. Is that too much to ask?
Nearly all the meat in our freezer came from the coops, barns and pastures of local friends.
If it kills me, I'll know who to blame ;0)
Kari - yes that is too much to ask. Just for that, we're going to have 2 recalls next month!
Janeen - you are one of the lucky few, but I'm guessing you know that.
