On September 25, 2007, Topps recalled 331,582 pounds of frozen ground beef products because of an investigation into a cluster of illnesses in the Northeast region carried out by the New York State Department of Health in coordination with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This investigation ultimately led to a positive product sample collected by the New York Department of Health.

Nationwide Recall: Following the initial recall, Topps announced on October 26, 2007 that they were issuing a nationwide recall for 21.7 million pounds of ground beef products after reports of up to 25 cases of illness caused by suspected E. coli bacteria in eight states, federal officials reported.

The recall, by the Topps Meat Co. of Elizabeth, N.J., covers a wide range of frozen hamburger patties and other products manufactured over the last year and bearing a "sell by" date or "best used by" date between last Tuesday and Sept. 25, 2008, along with the U.S. Department of Agriculture designation EST 9748.

The USDA said E. coli cases were reported in Indiana, Connecticut, Florida, Maine, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
