Thousands of pounds of ground beef have been recalled, some of which was shipped to Kentucky.

Tyson Fresh Meats is recalling more than 40,000 pounds of ground beef, over fears it may have been contaminated with E.coli.

The 10 pound packages of "Chuck Fine Ground Beef" were shipped to distributors in California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

The packages have a best buy date of 11/13/11 on their labels.

So far, no illness have been reported yet. The USDA says the problem was discovered during a routine inspection.
