Bismillah Halal Meats, a retail market in Marietta, sold the ground beef between April 10 and April 23.
USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said a sample showed the presence of E. coli.
The USDA said it is not issuing a recall since customers can no longer buy the ground beef. But officials are telling customers who already purchased it to not eat the meat.
So far, no illnesses have been reported.
