                                       Kroger expands voluntary recall of ground beef






Wed Jul 2, 2008
 
(Reuters) - Kroger Co, the largest U.S. grocery chain, expanded its voluntary recall of all ground beef products sold in Michigan and certain Ohio stores between May 21 and June 8 because the meat has been linked to recent outbreaks of E. coli bacteria.
 
Kroger is expanding the recall to include ground beef products in Styrofoam tray packages wrapped in clear cellophane or purchased from an in-store service counter from certain stores, the company said in a statement.

The company is also recalling Private Selection Natural ground beef, which was available at all Kroger stores, sold in 16 ounce packages from the self-service meat case.

The expanded recall comes after the U.S. Department of Agriculture informed the company that Nebraska Beef had been identified as the supplier of ground beef products linked to E. coli illnesses in Michigan and central and northern Ohio.

Last week, health officials in Michigan said more than half of the 15 people in the state with confirmed E. coli cases reported purchasing ground beef from Kroger.

Kroger asked customers to check the ground beef in their freezers for any products covered in the recall and return it to a store for a full refund or replacement.
