Article from Los Angeles Times.
More than 50,000 pounds of ground beef from Kansas have been recalled because there might have been a possible E. coli contamination. Unfortunately, some meat shipments have already gone onto store shelves. So far, there hasn't been any illnesses reported from this. However, recently, bagged salad has made more than 350 people sick in 15 states. In addition, 155 people from 9 states, with 76 of them being in California, had gotten Hepatitis A after eating berries at Costco. After the bacteria was found in June, National Beef Company recalled 23,000 pounds of ground beef. This is the second E. coli recall for this company so far.
I have personally started to eat less meat to reduce the risk of getting a disease. One can still get a disease from vegetables too, but in meats, it's much more likely.
