E. Coli Outbreak Linked to Beef Kofta at The Kebab Shop Restaurants
A public health alert has been issued for beef kofta products served at The Kebab Shop restaurants in California, Florida, and Texas due to potential E. coli contamination. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) reported that the products, produced by Olympia Food Industries, may contain Shiga toxin-producing E. coli. Although a recall was not issued since the products are no longer being sold, the alert follows an ongoing E. coli outbreak investigation in California, where nine people have fallen ill. The Kebab Shop ceased selling the affected beef kofta on May 18.
