Tyson removes contaminated beef from shelves

Wednesday, June 20, 2007

Tyson Fresh Meats removed more than 40,000 pounds of ground beef from Wal-Mart stores in 12 states including Kansas.

Ground beef products produced by Tyson on June 2 and shipped solely to Wal-Mart stores were pulled from the shelves because of possible contamination, said Wal-Mart spokesman Kory Lundberg.

The company sent word to their stores June 6, to remove the possibly contaminated beef.

“Everything that had been recalled had to be taken out that day,” Lundberg said. “There should not be anything in Kansas or any other store.”

Lundberg said Wal-Mart also placed a sales restriction on the product. If a customer finds a package of the Tyson shipment and brings it to the register, the product will not scan. Lundberg said when an employee sees that the product will not scan the employee should know that the product is not for sale as a result of the ground beef recall.
