Chicago: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has told that 29 cases of E.coli infectivity were supposed to be related to the 21.7 million pounds of recalled hamburger products from Topps Meat Company LLC. However, no deaths have been associated to the meat.
According to the CDC’s Web site note, the 29 cases were in eight different states including Florida (one), Indiana (one), New Jersey (six), New York (nine), Connecticut (two cases), Maine (one), Ohio (one) and Pennsylvania (eight).
