According to a story in the Times-Tribune, “Officials at the U.S. Department of Heath in Fayette County are testing samples of ground beef Shelton had reportedly consumed prior to becoming sick.”

Given that over 28 million pounds of ground beef have been recalled this year due to possible contamination with E. coli O157:H7, it is likely that the ground beef is the source of the illness.

We will continue to monitor the situation.
