Stew Leonard's Ground Beef
YONKERS, N.Y. – Stew Leonard’s Yonkers store is voluntarily recalling 96% Lean Ground Round because of possible contamination with Escherichia coli 0157:H7 bacteria. No other Stew Leonard’s location is affected by this recall.
The package of ground beef in question was purchased on July 21, 2007, but out of an abundance of caution, the company is recalling all Stew Leonard’s 96% Lean Ground Round that was purchased between June 30, 2007 and August 1, 2007. Customers who purchased this specific product during this time period from the Stew Leonard’s Yonkers store location, and who have frozen it for later use, should return it to the store for a full refund.
