On September 27, 2011, Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc. recalled 131,300 pounds of ground beef due to possible contamination with E. coli O157:H7. Some of the recalled ground beef was received and reprocessed by Kroger. The recalled Kroger-store-brand ground beef includes: "GROUND BEEF 73% LEAN - 27% FAT." Kroger received bulk ground beef from Tyson packed in 40-pound cases containing eight chubs. These products were produced on Aug. 23, 2011 by Tyson and were shipped to distribution centers in Ind. and Tenn. for retail sale.

The recall was prompted by an outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 in Butler County, Ohio. Illness onset dates range from Sept. 8, through Sept. 11, 2011. The on-going investigation involved collecting leftover ground beef from the patients’ home on Sept. 19 which tested positive for E. coli O157:H7 by the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s laboratory on Sept. 27, 2011.

Attorney Fred Pritzker and his team of E. coli attorneys are investigating this Tyson recall and associated outbreak. They are available for a free consultation regarding a lawsuit against Tyson and others. The firm has won millions for E. coli victims, including those who developed hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).
