Lidl breaks contract with supplier of ground beef in France after E. coli outbreak
Posted: August 11th, 2011 - 9:34pm by Doug Powell
Kroger, you may want to revisit Cargill as a supplier of ground turkey after the Salmonella Heidelberg outbreak which has now sickened 107 including one death.
German-owned French retailer Lidl has just terminated a 20-year relationship with its primary hamburger supplier, SEB, after those burgers were implicated in an E. coli O157:H7 outbreak in 
the Lille region of France earlier this year.
