(Windom, Mn.)– Production is continuing at a southwest Minnesota beef plant linked to seven E. Coli illnesses in the twin cities area.
A spokeswoman for P-M Beef-Windom says the plant is working with federal and state authorities on the matter. But in the meantime, the plant has not shut down.
State health officials say seven people were sickened by E. Coli bacteria. All involved ground beef purchased since April 12th from one of four Lunds or Byerly’s stores in the western Twin Cities and supplied by P-M Beef. Three of those who got sick were hospitalized, but all have since been discharged.
The U-S-D-A is leading the investigation, but it has not said whether other sellers received meat that may have been contaminated.
