Lawsuit accuses Kebab Shop beef of causing child’s E. coli illness

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.

Family sues Kebab Shop and supplier after child's E. coli illness tied to beef kofta

A Costa Mesa family is suing The Kebab Shop and its supplier Olympia Foods after their 3-year-old daughter developed acute kidney failure and was hospitalized for 17 days following a meal containing beef kofta, linked to an E. coli outbreak investigated by state and federal health agencies. The outbreak has nine illnesses, five hospitalizations, and two cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome; the incident occurred around March 27–April 30, with the supplier cut off and product removal later in May.

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.
