Beef Packers Salmonella Victim Represented by Pritzker Olsen
National food safety law firm Pritzker Olsen Attorneys is representing an Arizona client who became sick with Salmonella not long after an August 2009 ground beef recall.
The original recall involved 825,769 pounds of ground beef produced by Fresno, California.-based Beef Packers, Inc., which is owned by Cargill Meat Solutions, a subsidiary of Cargill, Inc.
This is the same contaminated beef recall investigated by reporters at USA Today, who found in a story published this week that the federal government accepted shipments from Beef Packers for the national school lunch program during the same time period that the plant was producing tainted ground beef.The recalled beef was distributed in Arizona, California, Colorado and Utah. Some of the recalled beef was distributed to and repackaged by Safeway, which recalled the beef from stores in Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, South Dakota and Wyoming.
At the time of the recall, the Colorado Department of Public Health reported at least 15 confirmed cases of Salmonella associated with Safeway ground beef products.
Anyone sickened in this outbreak may have claims against Safeway, Beef Packers and Cargill. To contact Pritzker Olsen, call toll-free 1-888-377-8900 or complete our online contact and information form on the side of this web page.
