USDA: Don't Eat Some ShopRite Burgers on E. Coli Risk

The USDA is warning consumers and institutions not to eat certain beef products, including some ShopRite packaged burgers and a variety of halal items, due to the risk of E. coli contamination. 

The Food Safety Inspection Service issued a public health alert for raw beef important from Canada by a meat-packing firm because it may be contaminated with the potentially deadly bacteria.
