Massive Recall Announced For Ground Beef Sold in Illinois & Wisconsin

If you bought some ground beef from Walmart, you might want to ensure it hasn't been recalled.

It sounds like a pile of bad ground beef was accidentally mixed in with the good-to-go ground beef. Am I wrong here?

HAS ANYONE GOTTEN SICK FROM THE RECALLED GROUND BEEF?

Here's the good news: there have been no confirmed reports of "adverse reactions due to consumption of these products," which is corporate speak for "nobody got sick."

If you bought some of this ground beef recently and noticed it's on the recall list, throw it away or bring it back to the store where you purchased it.
