Price Chopper Supermarkets is taking part in a national recall of beef supplied to them from the ConAgra Beef Company.
Price Chopper officials in Schenectady NY said yesterday that the recall was entirely voluntary and no contaminated beef had been found at any Price Chopper locations.
Price Chopper officials said they're recalling fresh ground beef with specific "sell-by" dates between June 5 and July 1. This ground beef may be contaminated with Ecoli bacteria.
Any customer who purchased ground beef with these "sell-by" dates should return it to Price Chopper for a refund.
In the Berkshires, Price Chopper operates stores in Pittsfield, North Adams, Lenox, Great Barrington and Lee.

Snow, 'Freezing Drizzle' Forecast for Berkshires
Staff Reports
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The day before the day before Christmas is shaping up to be a messy mix of rain and snow.
A winter weather advisory has been issued by the National Weather Service office in Albany, N.Y., through 7 a.m. on Wednesday for Berkshire County, and eastern Rensselaer County in New York.
Patchy snowfall was expected to begin Tuesday morning over the region and through the afternoon, before turning to freezing drizzle in the evening. The region could see total accumulations of 2 to 5 inches of snow and a glaze of ice.
WTEN Channel 10 in Albany has North County and Southern Vermont getting up to 6 inches.
Heavier snow is forecast beginning after midnight along with gusty northwesterly winds. According to NWS, "The combination of gusty winds and falling snow will likely reduce visibility and lead to difficult travel."
Christmas Eve will be cold and breezy and Christmas Day cloudy with highs in the upper 30s, but turning frostier in the evening. Friday will be in the 20s with a chance of snow.
