SCARBOROUGH, Maine (AP) - Hannaford
Supermarkets is alerting consumers that Cargill Beef is voluntarily
recalling 29,339 pounds of ground beef that may contain salmonella.
The 85-percent-lean ground
beef was produced at Cargill's plant in Wyalusing, Pa., on May 25, and
repackaged for sale to consumers by customers of the Maine-based grocery
chain.
Cargill President John

we are sorry for anyone who became sick from eating ground beef we may
have produced."
Hannaford's says consumers
should check their ground beef for "use or sell by" dates between May 29
and June 16. Refunds will be offered for ground beef that is returned.
