One Great Burger expanded its recall of possibly spoiled beef from earlier this week to include boxes of Winn Dixie beef patties sold at grocery stores in five states, said the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service.

The Elizabeth, N.J. meat company recalled 226,400 pounds of ground beef sent to prisons after complaints of bad smell and discoloration. The USDA said in its investigation of the beef recall it learned of more consumer complaints of discoloration and odors in the products.

So far, there have been no reports of consumers sickened from eating the beef, the agency said. The products were produced between April 2010 and May 2010 and sold at grocery stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi. While the beef patties have been off the store shelves since May 2010, the USDA said it's possible consumers may still have the patties in their freezers and should get rid of the beef.
