HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Whole Foods is recalling ground beef sold at some of its stores because of a possible e-coli outbreak. The Texas-based natural and organic foods grocer is recalling fresh ground beef from its stores in 23 states, including Ohio and Kentucky.

The beef was sold between June 2nd and August 6th and processed at a Nebraska plant that has been linked to an e-coli outbreak this summer.

A company spokesperson said people who shopped at stores in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania have reported illnesses.

Here is a list of the states affected: Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, Massachusetts, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington D. C., Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis-souri, Nebraska, and Wisconsin. Canada is also affected.

You guys need to direct your anger elsewhere. There are crazy drugged idots all around you and you don't see. You'll sit there and tell others they are idiots about this but won't lift a finger to help a truly needy person or charity right in your own back yard!

well excuse me.. i didnt know about the if you read the artical it says whole food and its stores, sounds like a brand name to me but you all dont have to be rude about it cause some of us have never heard of this store, some stores sales this brand in the organic section i guess ill check out our local walmart since im so poor and stupid.oh wait i guess i dont have to worry my beef is walmart.

Wow, you have such a way with words. "You haven't shopped there and can't afford it anyways." I can't stand people like you, who think they have money and need to talk about or flaunt it. I'm pretty sure no one cares if you shop there or not and I'm almost POSITIVE no cares if you bought any of the e-coli infested ground beef with an attitude like yours. Most people in this area are not familiar with chain of stores because it is not very common, And if you did not realize it was a store most people would think it was a brand of food, especially if you are just skimming over the article and not reading it very carefully.

Wonder if the meat thief will be returning any of his?

Some people are just complete idiots I guess. there is very clearly a list of states and the name of the store. quit being so stupid or lazy that you can't read enough of the article that you have to waste other peoples time. WOW look the very first two words of the article Whole foods is recalling. . . . then at the end OMG it says here is a list of the states affected:

I don't understand why this isn't caught prior to shipment.

Posted by: Isaac .C on Aug 11, 2008 at 07:22 AM
Whole foods is a division of foodfair,or at least they control foodfairs meat dep.I would say they got there hands in a few other stores as well!!!

Posted by: Anon on Aug 10, 2008 at 10:09 PM
The store is "Whole Foods", it was stated in the article. It is a natural & organic foods grocer (also stated in the article). The stores are in KY & OH not WV.

Posted by: kevin on Aug 10, 2008 at 08:37 PM
Whole foods is the stores that are selling this beef.

Posted by: linda on Aug 10, 2008 at 07:53 PM
Whole Foods only has 1 store in KY and a few in Ohio, they are known as Whole Foods or Fresh Fields...I would not worry about it if you did not get it from the above named stores.

Thanks for the states list, and again I agree--we need the affected stores listed also

Posted by: Anonymous on Aug 10, 2008 at 05:48 PM
post the store names and addresses

Posted by: Sue on Aug 10, 2008 at 02:09 PM
It is a store called Whole Foods as stated very clearly in the first sentence of the article. Basically, if you don't know what it is, don't worry about it. You haven't shopped there and can't afford it anyway. (I do shop there but haven't bought ground beef there that I need to worry about.)

Posted by: Anon on Aug 10, 2008 at 01:03 PM
Yeah, they seem to ALWAYS recall AFTER we eat stuff! I too would like a list of stores that sold it please. thanks

Posted by: john on Aug 10, 2008 at 11:22 AM
would you please tell what stores the meat was sent to. so we will know if that is the reason that we are getting sick.

Posted by: Pam-ky on Aug 10, 2008 at 09:16 AM
um can we get a list of stores that sales this?

Posted by: Thats Great on Aug 9, 2008 at 10:16 PM
Thats great. Recall it after we already ate it.
