The United States Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service was notified of illnesses caused by the 0157:H7 strain of E.coli in Butler County by Ohio health authorities where leftover ground beef was found in the patients’ home.
E.coli O157:H7 is a bacterium that can cause bloody diarrhoea, dehydration, and in the most severe cases, kidney failure.
A statement on the company website said: “Given the use by dates it is likely most of the affected product has already been consumed. However, the company urges consumers to check their freezers and, if they find the product in question, to return or discard it.”
