More Info On Latest Nebraska Beef Recall

Whole Foods Market is not the only grocery chain that may have received some of the meat that was recalled late Friday by Nebraska Beef. Some of the 1.2 million pounds of beef was sold to stores within the Kroger empire.

Fred Meyer stores has asked its customers in Oregon, Idaho, Washington and Alaska to check their refrigerators and freezers for ground beef labeled as "Lean Ground Beef Family Pack Not To Exceed 20% Fat" with sell by dates of July 6th through August 11th.

King Soopers and City Market stores have advised their customers in Colorado and Wyoming to check their refrigerators and freezers for ground beef labeled as "Ground Beef – 70 to 80% Lean" with sell by dates of July 4th through August 11th.

Customers who have purchased any of the recalled meat should return it to the store for a full refund.

The meat has likely been distributed elsewhere, as well. But USDA has not yet initiated its policy of listing the retail establishments who have received meat or poultry items included in a recall. As usual, the consumer is the last to know.
