May 13, 2009: Bob’s Food City Recalls Ground Beef Due To E. coli Concerns

May 13th, 2009

The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced that retailer Bob’s Food City, Hot Springs Arkansas, is recalling 375 pound of ground beef products, because the beef may be contaminated with the bacterium E. coli O157:H7.

The following ground beef products are subject to recall:

• 1-pound through 5-pound tray packs of “GROUND BEEF CHUCK,” “GROUND ROUND” or “REGULAR GROUND BEEF.” Each pack bears a sell by date of “05/09/09.” There is no USDA mark of inspection on the tray packs.

The recalled beef was produced on May 7, 2009, and sold to consumers at Bob’s Food City, located at 800 Malvern Avenue, Hot Springs, AR.

E.coli food poisoning symptoms may include severe abdominal cramps, fever, and watery diarrhea. The diarrhea may become bloody and can lead to dehydration.  The very young, elderly, and immunocompromised are at greatest risk for experiencing complications due to E. coli infection.
