Not to slam on Walmart or any retailer, but grinding your own meats will save you from this issue.

Part of the problem(s) when buying store ground meat is that you're buying meat from 1,000 animals (example, not fact) and that's a lot of handling and room for cross contamination.

If you buy a whole cut steak or protein, you lessen the risk of e-coli.

Or buying from a store that grinds it fresh for you.

Yea I don't do WM but just cook it till 160.
That should be a given for any mas produced ground beef.
Grind your own or a local butcher, then Med rare.

The key is that no problems have been reported. Wonder how many other retail chains Cargill has shipped these products to.

Walmart is often a whipping boy because they are so large. Cargill is a huge meat supplier and this would have to affect retailers all over the country.
