Some beef sold at Hannaford being recalled
PLATTSBURGH — Hannaford is urging its customers to check for beef that is possibly contaminated with E. coli 0157:H7 bacterium.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service has recalled beef products made by JBS Swift Beef Co. of Greely, Colo.

Hannaford was notified Sunday that its stores may have received some of those products. Customers should look for fresh beef cuts and ground beef with sell-by dates between April 28 and June 6.

The store will provide a refund for beef products purchased in its stores during those dates.

E. coli 0157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause bloody diarrhea, dehydration and, in the most severe cases, kidney failure. The very young, seniors and people with weak immune systems are the most susceptible to food-borne illness.

Customers can also call the JBS Swift Company hotline at 1-800-685-6328.
