That's it, I'm just not eating anymore.

Like I've mentioned before, we break up our meat when we get it home and freeze it in individual portions. And we buy our meat from Kroger. So really, we need to throw all the hamburger in our freezer out and buy new. And since we don't have the original package, we don't know if our hamburger is affected, and we can't get a refund.

Wow, we must have been lucky last weekend that we didn't get sick!  My dad brought some of this hamburg when my daughter and I went with him to his cabin.  We had burgers on the grill Saturday night.  hmm

I do the same, buy big, break it up and freeze it. Thankfully, those are not my stores. I wouldn't remember the dates I bought it.

That does make it tough with a hamburger holiday tomorrow.

Yikes.

I got scared when I saw the post title and then saw this krogroundbeef.jpg when I opened the thread.  That's the EXACT packaging of the meat I ate two big juicy burgers from last night.


Then I read on and saw that version is NOT contaminated.  Whew!
