The ground beef recall took a serious turn Saturday with the recall of 21.7 million pounds of ground beef products of the Topps Meat Co., which is based in Elizabeth.
Authorities are investigating 22 cases of E. coli in a number of states ranging from Maine to Florida and from New Jersey to Indiana.
All packages with a 'sell by' or 'use by' date between September 25, 2007 and September 25, 2008 and packed by 'EST 9748' (Topps ID number) should be discarded.
According to a press release by Topps, the 'sell by' and 'EST' information are located on the back panel of the package and/or in the USDA legend.
