The Hannaford Supermarket chain says it is recalling ground beef with a sell-by date of Dec. 17 or earlier because it may be contaminated with salmonella.
The Scarborough, Maine-based company says in a statement Friday it has received information indicating 10 people have become ill. All have indicated they purchased ground beef between Oct. 12 and Nov. 20.
