American Fresh Foods Asks Consumers Not to Purchase Its Stolen Ground Beef
Posted on: Monday, 31 December 2007, 09:01 CST
American Fresh Foods has asked Texas consumers not to purchase its ground beef under questionable circumstances. This precaution comes after the company reported the theft of one of its refrigerated trucks containing 14,800 pounds of ground beef products.
According to American Fresh Foods's officials, the stolen meat had been placed in a refrigerated truck and held on the plant's property. The product, a portion of which had been segregated as possibly affected with E. coli O157:H7, was being removed from fresh commercial sale.
Tim Biela, chief food safety and quality assurance officer for American Fresh Foods, said: "Consumers need to know that our meat products being sold through normal retail channels - such as grocery stores - are safe. Our primary concern, however, is for the safety of those people who may be persuaded to buy beef products under questionable circumstances."
American Fresh Foods has said that it is working with US Department of Agriculture officials and local and state law enforcement authorities to issue a public health alert and to recover the stolen product and vehicle.
