From KOMO News:
Cincinnati-based Kroger is recalling ground beef products in plastic foam tray packages wrapped in cellophane, or purchased from a service counter at all Fred Meyer's and QFC stores between May 21-July 5. The first 6 digits of the UPCs for the effected products are...241670 and 241676 for leanest ground beef 7%...The beef has been linked to Omaha-based Nebraska Beef, the supplier of products connected to E. coli illnesses in Michigan and central and northern Ohio.
On Monday, I purchased the 7% ground beef and cooked it that same night for some spaghetti I made and then ate. Fortunately for me, I just looked up the first six digits of the UPC after digging the packaging out of the garbage, and they were 241671.
