One million pounds of beef recalled

Cargill announced Saturday that it's recalling 1 million pounds of beef because E.coli was found in a tested sample, according to the Washington Post.

The beef was produced from Oct. 8 to Oct. 11 and involves Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

No illnesses have been related to the meat that has been recalled.

Giant, Stop Rite, Stop & Shop, Wegmans and Weis are retailers that sold the meat, according to Reuters.

Symptoms of the particular strain of E. coli associated with this recall are potentially severe stomach cramps, diarrhea and dehydration.

Cargill recalled beef earlier in October when four Minnesota children and four Wisconsin adults developed illness from eating contaminated beef patties, according to the Washington Post.
