CINCINNATI (AP) – The Kroger Co. is recalling Private Selection brand roast beef from its stores in 20 states, including Texas, after a sample taken from a Kroger delicatessen counter in Atlanta tested positive for a bacteria that can cause sickness and, in some cases, death.
The sample taken by the Georgia Department of Agriculture tested positive for listeria monocytogenes, Kroger officials said Tuesday. It was unclear when the sample was taken.
Eating food contaminated with listeria monocytogenes can cause high fever, severe headaches, neck stiffness, abdominal pain, nausea and diarrhea. The infection may be more serious or even fatal among young children, frail or elderly people, or those with weak immune systems.
The product is being removed from store shelves. Kroger officials said they had not received customer complaints of illness related to the roast beef.
