Ashville, NY (WKBW) -- A large ground beef recall is underway for Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states after beef from a local processing plant has been potentially linked to E.coli.

Fairbank Farms in Ashville, New York issued the voluntary recall for approximately 545,000 pounds of fresh ground beef produced between September 14 and September 16.

The potentially tainted beef is no longer on store shelves, and any beef purchased after September 30 is not affected.

Fairbank Farms has set-up a consumer hotline and has all the information on their website. You can find it by going to the News Links section of our website.
