DAYTON — Dorothy Lane Market is asking consumers to return all unused ground beef products sold from all the store's locations with sell by dates between June 9 and July 29 in light of two people who have gotten sick with E. coli, traceable to locally purchased beef.

Public Health — Dayton & Montgomery County said Monday, July 28, that beef in those two incidents was bought from DLM's Washington Square location in Centerville.

In total, six people in Montgomery County have fallen sick with E. coli in the past few weeks, Public Health spokesman Bill Wharton said.

Officials with Dorothy Lane said they are working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Ohio Department of Agriculture. The store sold 25,000 packages of raw ground beef during the period. Labels on the packages will carry DLM's logo, said Calvin Mayne, DLM vice president.

"To ensure your safety, we are withdrawing the raw ground beef products with the following sell-by dates: June 9 – July 29," Dorothy Lane said. "Please check your freezer for these products. If you have any affected product, please return it to our service desk for a full refund."

The withdrawal is related to the same processing facility in Nebraska implicated by a national recall issued by the Kroger Company in recent weeks, DLM said.

"Unfortunately, our longtime supplier, Coleman Natural Meats, had used this processing plant on a temporary basis, and apparently some of our beef was affected," DLM said.
