One person has been confirmed infected with E. coli O157:H7 linked to ground beef now being recalled in Canada.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and New Middleast Supermarket of Ottawa, ON are warning the public not to consume finely ground beef used for kibbeh that was sold by the stores on Dec. 28 and 29, 2011.
Kibbeh is a Middle Eastern dish of minced meat shaped into balls or patties.
The ground beef, which may still be in home freezers, was served from the supermarket’s fresh meat counter in plastic bags wrapped with paper. The packages may be unlabeled.
