Federal health officials said that ground beef contaminated with salmonella sickened 16 people, sending six to the hospital, across the Northeast.
The CDC reported cases in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts, with ground beef consumption being the common denominator.
For those who could remember what they ate, they identified 80% lean ground beef purchased from ShopRite. At this time, no recall has been issued, but an investigation is ongoing.
