Kebab Shop beef kofta linked to E. coli prompts public health alert

The USDA FSIS issued a public health alert for beef kofta sold at The Kebab Shop in California, Florida and Texas due to potential E. coli contamination. The kofta, produced by Olympia Food Industries in Illinois in January, is no longer sold, so a recall was not issued. Consumers who ate the product should discard leftovers and seek medical care if they develop symptoms of E. coli infection. Those with questions can contact the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline; cooking to safe internal temperatures is advised to prevent illness.

Bay Area E. coli outbreak tied to The Kebab Shop prompts health alert

State health officials are investigating an E. coli outbreak linked to The Kebab Shop chain in the Bay Area, with nine California residents infected between March 27 and April 30, 2026. The strain can produce a Shiga toxin and cause diarrhea (often bloody), vomiting, and abdominal cramps. The Kebab Shop paused sales of grilled beef kofta on May 18 and is cooperating with investigators. Current information indicates the implicated beef product was distributed only to The Kebab Shop; exposure is not ongoing. Most people recover within a week, and there have been no deaths.
