The Defense Commissary Agency is recalling packages of 85-percent lean ground beef because of contamination recently found in some packages at 10 stores. The tainted meat, which contained possible E-coli virus, was sold at Fort McCoy, Wis., Great Lakes Naval Training Center, Ill., Carlisle Barracks, Pa., Bolling Air Force Base, D.C., Fort Monmouth, N.J., Lakehurst Naval Engineering Station, N.J., New London Naval Submarine Base, Conn., Tobyhanna Army Depot, Pa., Fort Carson, Colo., and Fort Leavenworth, Kan. Anyone who bought the beef at these stores between May 1 and May 10 should stop consuming it. They can then either return the package to where they bought it, or provide a receipt, and receive a full refund.
