By Drew Falkenstein

Today, USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced an expansion of the E. coli O157:H7-related recall of bison meat products by Rocky Mountain Natural Meats, out of Henderson, Colorado.  The original recall was of approximately 66,000 pounds of bison products, including ground meat; the expansion adds an additional 776 pounds of meat to the recall.  Multiple E. coli O157:H7 illnesses in New York and Colorado are linked to the outbreak. 

For now, the list of retail establishments that received potentially contaminated products in the two affected states, if not nationally, reads as follows:

1 Albertsons
2 Giant Food
3 Hannaford's
4 King Soopers's
5 Kroger's
