Shaw's recalls beef patties

Some ground beef patties, sold fresh under the Shaw's Supermarket label have been recalled after concerns about possible contamination with E.coli bacteria.

The 85 percent lean ground beef, made by Fairbank Farms, could have been purchased by consumers in Shaw's New England stores between about 7 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Wednesday.

Customers who may have purchased the beef patties should check the package. Each of the 1.33-pound trays is marked with the establishment number "Est. 492" inside the USDA mark of inspections, and the nutritional information label bears a time stamp between "17:05" and "17:25." The packages also have a date code of "243."

A majority of the product was isolated in the company's warehouse. Some affected product was shipped to stores in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, as well as Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. The affected product has been pulled from store shelves.
