Anyone know that recall website to check if yours is safe or not.

I have a roll of lean beef from Walmart that has been in the freezer for about 2 months now, and am wary if I should eat it or not, though I didn't have a problem with the ones before, I'd rather check and be safe than sorry though especially as I do have a 3 yr old..

Just cook it properly all the way through and make sure it reaches at least 160f then you will kill any e coli that might be present. Just sensible food hygiene.

It's safe when properly cooked isn't it? Just don't serve it rare or medium

thank you kindly marclouis

wonderwoman1st

Well you'd like to think so, except when it's already infected with E-coli

Okay, thanks, that is two of you who said this, so I will do that, will use myself as a guinea pig first, if I don't get a stomach ache fast then I will know it's aok to give it to my little man

That makes sense. Any meat not handled or cooked properly will give you food poisoning. Good post

I was a bit annoyed - I had a ton of ground beef in the freezer - only some of it had to be recalled - and of course I didn't know which ones (as I separate and put into bags and freeze because I buy from Costco).

It's not worth messing with really - not with little ones in the house. I took all of it back...

And have since started labelling stuff!

When I heard about the recalls I didn't think much of it, a couple of days later I dug out some ground beef from the freezer and made spaghetti bolognese, didn't even check it.

It's a bit like the Edwina Curry and the egg thing.

IF you were going to make steak tartar, then I would advise against it but if your going to cook it all the way through then I can't see there being a problem imo. If your that worried dispose of it, if your concerned then do a pot roast or stew where it's going to get hot and stay hot for a long time and use a thermometer.

hear hear.

You won't get a stomach ache fast, it can take up to 10 days before you feel the effects!

Is that the finding on the recent food poisoning then?

When ever I had food poisoning rarely though the last time was last year, it was pretty fast.
