St. Louis, August 2, 2021 - Due to a recent recall by Greater Omaha, an ingredient supplier, and out of an abundance of caution for safety of our customers St. Louis based Dierbergs Markets is recalling various products in all 25 retail stores. The beef products have the potential to be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. Greater Omaha’s product is associated with an outbreak of E. Coli illness consisting of multiple known illnesses. The products are being recalled as a precautionary measure given the health and safety of our consumers is our top priority.
All of the implicated products have been removed from store shelves. Product was distributed to all Dierbergs Markets retail locations in eastern and central Missouri and western Illinois.
E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause dehydration, bloody diarrhea, and abdominal cramps 2–8 days (3–4 days, on average) after exposure the organism. While most people recover within a week, some develop a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). This condition can occur among persons of any age but is most common in children under 5-years old and older adults.
