Kroger Expands its Recall to Over 20 States
[2008-7-9]
Tag: Gluconate
Kroger Grocery, the country’s largest grocery store, has expanded its beef recall to more than 20-states after meat from Nebraska Beef Ltd. suppliers was apparently contaminated with E. coli. The expanded recall includes ground beef sold at Fred Meyer, QFC, Ralphs, Smith’s, Baker’s, King Soopers, City Markets, Hilander, Owen’s, Pay Less, and Scott’s with overlapping sell-by dates from mid- May through mid-July. Kroger is urging its customers to check the ground beef in their refrigerators and freezers to determine if the meat is covered by the recall.
The Kroger recall was issued when it first discovered that meat obtained from Nebraska Beef, Ltd., one of Kroger’s suppliers, was linked to 41 E. coli illnesses and dozens of hospitalizations in Michigan and Ohio between May 31 and June 8. Nebraska Beef recalled over five million pounds of beef in response. Kroger said that, as a precaution, it removed all ground beef supplied by Nebraska Beef marked with sell-by dates of May 21 or later from stores. “Ground beef in stores today comes from other suppliers not involved in the recall,” Kroger spokeswoman Meghan Glynn said.
