August 31, 2007 -- Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) Director Robert Boggs in conjunction with The Kroger Co. today advises consumers not to consume Kroger brand Mustard or Southern-Style potato salad with a "Best If Used By" date of Sept. 5, 2007, because it may contain E. coli O157:H7.

ODA’s Consumer Analytical Laboratory tested a sample of the Kroger brand Mustard or Southern-style potato salad collected during routine food safety sampling, and found it positive for E. coli O157:H7, a foodborne pathogen. In addition to advising consumers, the department has notified the Food and Drug Administration and local health departments.

To date, no illnesses have been reported, and additional samples analyzed by a certified, thirdparty laboratory contracted by Kroger have tested negative for E. coli O157:H7. As a precautionary measure, The Kroger Co. has removed the product from sale. The company encourages consumers to check their refrigerators and freezers for this specific product and, if found, to return it to the store for a full refund. [Note from Pritzker | Ruohonen: If someone has eaten some of the recalled product, watch for symptoms of E. coli for about 10 days--the incubation period can be as long as 10 days. If symptoms develop, consult a doctor immediately. If you or someone in your family is diagnosed with E. coli, contact an E. coli lawyer.
