Kroger, Stop & Shop say stores in some states included in JB Swift beef recall -- chicagotribune.com
CINCINNATI (AP) — The Kroger Co. on Tuesday recalled ground beef sold in some of its grocery stores.

JBS Swift Beef Co. of Greeley, Colo., earlier voluntarily expanded a beef recall because of possible E. coli contamination. Kroger says the suspect beef was sold under its store brands in more than a dozen states.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said an investigation by its Food Safety and Inspection Service of 24 illnesses in multiple states prompted Swift to re-examine its food safety system, leading to the recall.
