Food 4 Less Removes Beef Products Recalled by JBS Swift Beef Co.
CHICAGO, July 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Food 4 Less stores in Illinois and Indiana have removed from sale all store-brand beef products supplied by JBS Swift Beef Co., which on June 28 expanded its recall of beef that may be contaminated with E. coliO157:H7.
Food 4 Less is asking customers to check their freezers at home for certain packages of store- brand and store-packaged ground beef with sell-by dates from April 27 to June 1, 2009. (See below for a list of recalled products with UPCs.) It is important to know that none of these items are in Food 4 Less stores today.
Customers who have the recalled items should not consume them and may return them to Food 4 Less for a full refund or replacement.
