According to an article in CNN, Valley Meat Company recalled almost 1 million pounds, in form of patties and bulk products, produced between October 2nd, 2009 - January 12th, 2010. Those beef products are believe to have been contaminated by a rare strain of the bacterium E. coli O157:H7. They were distributed to retail outlets, institutional food service providers in CA, TX, OR, AZ and overseas.

It was reported in USDA that 7 people were sickened between February and June and consumers are advised to either throw away these beef products or cook them in temperature of at least 160° F. In most severe cases, E. coli can cause serious illness, even death.
