Earlier today, Topps Meat expanded its voluntarily recall to more than 21.7 million pounds of its ground beef products due to possibility of E.coli 0157:H7 contamination.
In response to Topps' original recall earlier in the week, Stop & Shop and Giant Food already had pulled all Topps frozen beef patties from its stores. Customers who still may have any Topps frozen ground beef patties, regardless of UPC code or sell-by date, should discard it and/or return to any store for a full refund. Symptoms of E.coli O157:H7 exposure could include stomach cramps and diarrhea, including diarrhea with bloody stools. Although most healthy adults can recover completely within a week, some people can develop a form of kidney failure called Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS). HUS is most likely to occur in young children and the elderly. If any of the described symptoms are exhibited, medical attention should be sought. Customers with questions about the recalled product may phone Topps Meat at (908) 351-0500, Stop & Shop Customer Service at 1-800-767-7772, or Giant Food Customer Service at 1-888-4-MY-GIANT Monday - Friday, 9:00 - 5:00. The Stop & Shop Supermarket Company/Giant Food, based in Quincy, Massachusetts, employs more than 82,000 associates and operates 575 stores throughout Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, and the District of Columbia. |
