Reason for Recall:
Price Chopper Supermarkets is voluntarily recalling select packages of USDA ground beef with expiration dates of September 16 through October 5, 2009 based upon information from USDA and Fairbank Farms - a supplier to several chains in the Northeast that is believed to have distributed beef containing possible E. Coli 0157:H7 contamination.

What to do:
Consumers are encouraged to check their freezers for these varieties of ground beef bearing the dates listed above and to return any that are found to the most convenient Price Chopper store for a full refund.

Contact information:
Those seeking more information should call Fairbank Farms, the supplier that initiated the recall, at (877) 546-0122 or call the Price Chopper Customer Service Center at (800) 666-7667, option 3, M-F, 8:30am to 5pm.
