Beef sold at Albertson's may have E. coli

Ground beef sold at Albertson's stores in Washington, Idaho, Montana and five other states is being recalled because of possible contamination with E. coli bacteria.

The beef, most of which was sold under the Moran's label, has sell-by dates from April 20 to May 7. In addition to the Moran's brand ground beef, the company recalled sirloin fresh hamburger patties sold under the Albertson's label.

The products were sold at Alberton's locations in California, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming and Save-A-Lot stores in Arizona, California and Nevada.

Customers who purchased the beef can return it for a full refund. The company has set up a toll-free number at 1-800-325-4164 to handle customer questions.
