Bad beef: East coast stores recall ground beef

New York-based meat supplier Fairbank Farms has announced a voluntary recall of more than a half million pounds of ground beef over fears of E.coli contamination. The meat was all sold in stores along the eastern seaboard and carried expiration dates of several weeks ago, so it is unlikely any remains on stores.
