Seattle, Washington, United States
Consumer Reports is advising the public to not consume a specific Kroger-branded 93 percent lean ground beef sold at Kroger and Fred Meyer Supermarkets because it is possibly contaminated with a strain of E. coli O157:H7. The impacted product was sold in Kroger, Fred Meyer, Harris Teeter, Ralphs, Dillons, and several other supermarkets.Kroger-brand ground beef purchased at a Fred Meyer supermarket in Seattle and tested by Consumer Reports was found to have a deadly strain of E. coli called O157:H7. The tested package of 93 percent lean ground beef is marked with an “Establishment” (EST) number of 965, representing the plant where the meat was processed, and a “use or freeze by date” of 1/11/2022. At this time, there is no recall of this ground beef, and no illnesses have been linked to the product.
Consumers who might have purchased Kroger-branded 93 percent lean ground beef from any Kroger-owned grocery store should check their packages and throw away the product if it contains that establishment number and “use or freeze by” date. Those stores include Fred Meyer, Harris Teeter, Ralphs, Dillons, and several other supermarkets. Consumers also should not buy ground beef with those markings from any of those stores.
