Almost 22 million pounds of frozen ground beef products were recalled by Topps Meat Company for possible contamination with E. coli O157:H7, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that is especially dangerous for children, seniors, and those with compromised immune systems.

The recalled beef patties were produced between Sept. 25, 2006, and Sept. 25, 2007, and were distributed to various retailers nationwide, including Pathmark and Shop Rite. Packages are labeled "Est. 9748" inside the USDA mark of inspection, with a sell-by date between "SEP 25 07" and "SEP 25 08."
