Did Last Week's Meatball Recall Impact Grocery Prices?

Last week Hannaford announced it , following another contamination scare . So this week, we decided to take a look and see if these announcements have had any impact on Westford area meatball prices.

Unfortunately, premade meatballs are harder to find than you'd think. We saw them at Hannaford (pictured), but weren't able to find them anywhere else at the deli counter.

So, we did the next best thing and took prices of ground beef to see if the recall impacted the stuff you use to make meatballs at home,

All prices were observed on July 23. Prices and availablility may change without notice. Prices may include additional taxes and fees not indicated in labeling.
