Federal and state health investigators looking into an E. coli outbreak determined that the ground beef was the probable source of 17 illnesses and one death this summer. Those who contract this strain of E. coli can experience bloody diarrhea and vomiting, sometimes leading to a more serious infection.

Consumers may have frozen some of the recalled ground beef, and they are urged to throw it away or return it.
