Whole Foods Market is recalling approximately 368 pounds of various iBEEF ground beef products, including sirloin, patties, and grass-fed varieties, sold at locations in South Weymouth and Newton, Massachusetts. These products are being recalled because they may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, which has been linked to three reported illnesses in the area. The recalled beef was produced on specific dates in June 2014 and may still be in consumers' freezers; customers should return the meat to Whole Foods for a full refund.
The beef may contain E. coli O157:H7, a dangerous bacterium that causes dehydration, abdominal cramps, and bloody diarrhea. In some cases, particularly in children and older adults, it can lead to a serious type of kidney failure known as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).
Full refund at the place of purchase.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
