Jay C Stores Ask Customers to Check for Recalled Ground Beef

    SEYMOUR, Ind., Aug. 14 /EMWNews/ -- Jay C stores are asking

customers to check for ground beef they may have recently purchased with

"sell by" dates of July 2 through August 16. This ground beef is part of a

recall announced by Nebraska Beef. Customers should return the ground beef

to stores for a full refund or a replacement.



    The recall involves 29 stores Jay C operates in southern Indiana.

Stores involved have placed signs with specific information in their meat

departments to notify customers.



    Consumers are reminded that proper handling, storage and cooking of

ground beef offer the best protection against food-borne illness. According

to the USDA, when ground beef is thoroughly cooked to an internal

temperature of at least 160 degrees, any harmful bacteria are destroyed and

the ground beef is safe to consume.
