Publix Super Markets Inc. is recalling an undetermined amount of raw ground chuck products and items containing ground chuck, such as burgers, meatballs, and sliders. These products, purchased between June 25, 2018, and July 31, 2018, may be contaminated with E. coli O26. The recall was initiated after an investigation linked 18 reported illnesses to raw ground chuck purchased at various Publix locations.
The products may contain Shiga toxin-producing E. coli O26, which can cause severe illness including bloody diarrhea and vomiting. In rare cases, particularly in young children and older adults, the infection can lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a serious type of kidney failure.
