An Oklahoma company is voluntarily recalling about 248,000 pounds of beef it says might be contaminated with a strain of E. coli bacteria.
National Steak and Poultry and the U.S. Agriculture Department announced the recall on Thursday. The company says on its Web site that the beef products "could potentially be implicated in an outbreak" of illnesses related to E. coli O157:H7.
The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service became aware of the problem while investigating a cluster of illnesses and determined there is an association between non-intact steaks and illnesses in Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, South Dakota and Washington.
Colorado health officials say one person was sickened here in November but wasn't hospitalized.

What would be nice is if they would post which stores it effects! The link just tells more about the recall not who is distributing the meat. More guessing.
Why do I feel we only get part of the story in these beef recalls?
