Lawsuit accuses Kebab Shop beef of causing child’s E. coli illness
TL;DR Summary
A California family is suing The Kebab Shop and its beef supplier, alleging that ground beef kofta caused their child to contract Shiga toxin–producing E. coli and develop haemolytic uremic syndrome, requiring ICU care and dialysis. Whole-genome sequencing links the illness to the outbreak strain associated with The Kebab Shop, and USDA confirms contaminated beef from Olympia Foods. California public health is investigating; The Kebab Shop paused grilled beef kofta sales and is cooperating with investigators, while the lawsuit accuses the defendants of violating federal food-safety laws.
