CLEVELAND: Cleveland health officials have identified the two eateries that are under investigation for possibly serving burgers tainted with E. coli bacteria.
Matt Carroll, director of the Cleveland Department of Public Health, said the two places that were investigated by officials from the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service were the VFW Hall in North Olmsted and Deekers Side Tracks in Mentor.
Three Cuyahoga County residents who became ill in April from E. coli had eaten at the two places. Testing showed that all were sickened by strains of E. coli that were genetically linked to each other.
Health officials removed beef burgers from the two establishments, prompting Thursday's recall by Valley Meats of Coal Valley, Ill., of nearly 96,000 pounds of frozen beef patties and some loose ground beef. However, testing has not officially determined whether the strain of E. coli was matched to the beef from Valley Meats.
At the same time, officials are testing to determine whether the same form of E. coli is what sickened a 7-year-old Cleveland girl who died Sunday.
Cooking ground beef patties to at least 160 degrees will kill any E. coli bacteria.
