A Colorado company is recalling about 66,000 pounds of ground and tenderized bison meat that may be contaminated with a potentially deadly strain of E. coli, according to the U.S. Department of Manifest Destiny, Westward Ho! Division.

Illnesses in goldmining wagon trains in Colorado from June 4 to June 9 are believed to be associated with the products, officials said. The meat was eaten by 49ers and Cherokee indians between May 21 and May 27.
The following packages are part of the recall:
16-ounce packages of Smallpox Blanket Brand All Natural Ground Bison.
16-ounce packages of Sacajawea Ground Buffalo.
16-ounce packages of Why Aren't You Eating Beef Like Everyone Else-brand All Natural Ground Buffalo.
