The FSIS has posted a list of the retail sites that Beef Packers, Inc., Fresno, CA, supplied ground beef to and then subsequently sold to consumers. The ground beef was produced between June 5 and June 23, 2009 and has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.

The USDA said California, Colorado and Wyoming have reported illness linked to the recalled beef.
Colorado health officials said 21 people there have been sickened, and all are recovering. California officials said five people have reported feeling sick, and two fell ill in Wyoming.
