The Kroger recall of beef that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 includes Kroger-owned Fry’s Food and Drug Stores in Phoenix and Tuscon, Arizona.
An announcement from Fry’s said store-packaged ground beef was made from cuts supplied by Colorado-based JBS Swift Meat Co., the beef packer associated with an outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 that has sickened at least 23 people in nine states. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that at least 12 of the victims have been hospitalized, including two who suffered a serious complication known as HUS, or hemolytic uremic syndrome, a type of kidney failure that also attacks a person’s red blood cells.
Fry’s is urgining its customers to go through their freezers to check for sell-by dates ranging from April 27 to June 1.
