JBS Tolleson, Inc. is recalling more than 5.1 million pounds of raw beef products that may be tainted with salmonella. 

This is an expansion of a recall that was first issued in October for the same reason.

According to the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, the recalled beef was produced and packaged between July 26 and September 7. 

The products have been distributed nationwide and include the brands Kroger, Cedar River Farms, Grass Run Farms and JBS generic among others. 

The recalled beef is linked to an outbreak of salmonella that, as of November 15, has caused 246 people to become sick in 25 states. No deaths have been reported but 56 people have been hospitalized.

 Consumers should discard or return any recalled beef.
