If you have a package of Philly-Gourmet hamburger patties in your freezer, take caution. The New York State Health Department has issued additional warnings about the beef after some of it tested positive for E. coli. Recently, three Saratoga County residents got sick after eating contaminated meat. The State suggests that residents cook all ground beef to 160 degrees before eating it, and to always wash your hands before and after preparing food. The beef patties are being sold in stores throughout New York. Read the New York Health Department E. coli warning. Learn about E. coli poisoning.
