Huntington, WV (HNN) -– Kroger has expanded its recall of ground beef based on the latest USDA information. “Due to a potential health hazard, Customers who purchase any of the item(s) should NOT eat the product,” a Kroger release stated.
“The U.S. Department of Agriculture has informed The Kroger Co. that Nebraska Beef, based in Omaha, Neb. , has been identified as the supplier of ground beef products linked to E. coli illnesses in Michigan and central and northern Ohio.”
Due to the information from the USDA, the recall includes ground beef products in Styrofoam tray packages wrapped in clear cellophane or purchase from an in-store service counter … There are various ‘sell by’ dates on the ground beef recalled due to different Nebraska Beef production dates.”
For the Mid-Atlantic region of Kroger , which includes Virginia and West Virginia, the dates are May 19-June 6. If you shop in Ohio, the dates are May 21 through July 3.
“Customers who stop at Pay Less should follow the ‘sell by’ dates listed for Kroger stores,” the release stated.
In addition to the ground beef described above, Kroger is recalling Private Selection Natural ground beef sold in 16 oz. packages that were in the self service meat case. The “sell by” dates for this product is July 11 through July 21,2008. The product was available at all Kroger stores.
These items are NOT included in the recall: Ground beef sold in sealed tubes in one, three or five pound packages and frozen ground beef patties sold in the frozen food section of its stores.
Kroger has posed signs in the meat departments, has used a register receipt notification system, and instructed every store to discard the questionable ground beef products and thoroughly clean and sanitize all equipment used to prepare ground beef for sale.
Consumers can contact Kroger toll free: (800) 632-6900.
