The California Public Health Department has warned consumers to be aware of E. coli<\/em> tied to seasoned ground beef kebabs known as beef kofta that are served at these eateries.<\/p>\n

This E. coli<\/em> strain can produce a Shiga toxin. Those who are infected can suffer symptoms that include diarrhea that is often bloody, vomiting and abdominal cramps, according to health authorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Kebab Shop is fully cooperating with public health officials and voluntarily paused sales of grilled beef kofta at all locations on May 18,\u201d the state agency reported.<\/p>\n

No deaths have been reported.<\/p>\n

The Kebab Shop has nine Bay Area locations, according to the chain\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
