Ground beef sold from Kroger, Walmart & more recalled over possible E. coli contamination

Publish date: 2024-06-19

SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — There has been a recall of over 28,000 pounds of ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Thursday.

The recall applied to beef sold at Walmart, Kroger, WinCo Foods and Albertson's grocers, shipped to retail locations in Utah, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming.

Organization officials labeled the recall as class I, making it a "high or medium risk" health hazard with "reasonable probability" that use of the product will result in health consequences.

USDA officials said symptoms of consuming E. coli include dehydration, bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps 2–8 days (3–4 days, on average) after exposure to the organism. They said anyone who experiences these symptoms should seek emergency medical care immediately.

Interstate Meat Dist. Inc., a Clackamas, Ore., establishment, is the company recalling the raw ground beef after packaged product was purchased and submitted to a third-party lab for testing, and the sample tested positive for E. coli. The recalled beef products were produced on Dec. 20, 2021.
