For those of us who think that we Somalis only buy Halal meat and this will not affect my family, or me I say think again...because we dine at restaurants and eat at fast food places that use this type of distribution centers throughout the US.

MAY 22, 2007 -- A meat company has recalled 129,000 pounds of beef products in 15 states because of possible E. coli contamination, reports an Associated Press article seen on USAToday.com. The meat products are made by Davis Creek Meats and Seafood and were made for Gordon Food Service stores, the USDA said Wednesday on its Web site.

The items under recall include boxes of mechanically tenderized steaks and ground beef of different weights. The boxes are labeled "Est. 1947A."

Symptoms of E. coli include stomach cramps that may be severe and diarrhea that may turn bloody within one to three days. E. coli sometimes can lead to complications including kidney failure.
