Cancel your taco night plans.

Raw packs of ground beef have been recalled at Walmart; so if you’ve recently shopped at the retail giant for beef to build your tacos, you may need to opt for chicken instead.

Raw ground beef products at Walmart stores nationwide have recently been recalled, due to a possible contamination with the E. coli bacteria according to the USDA.

Over 16,000 pounds of raw ground beef to be exact.

So far there have been no confirmed reports of infection from the bacteria.

However, the Food Safety and Inspection Services are urging customers who have bought the recalled beef to throw them out immediately or have them returned to Walmart!

Officials are also recommending individuals to contact their health care providers if they have any illness concerns.

Now it’s also important to note that the recalled packages of ground beef were manufactured by Cargill Meat Solutions and shipped to Walmart stores across the country.

The affected items, which include raw ground beef and burger patties were sold in plastic-wrapped trays and produced between April 26 and April 27 of this year.
