ConAgra recalled almost 19m pounds of ground beef in July as it was thought to be contaminated with the E.coli bacteria.


Seattle-based law firm Marler Clark is representing 30 people who are seeking up to US$50m from ConAgra. The law firm will mediate with the meat processing company in the hope of settling the claims out of court.
