A Hannaford Bros. Co. store in Augusta, Maine.

Hannaford is urging Maine customers to check ground beef purchased at its stores after the federal government issued a public health alert for possible E. Coli contamination.

The potential contamination is focused on 80 and 85% lean ground beef in both the small and family packs, purchased between April 4-16.

A full list of affected stores can be found on the Hannaford website.

Customers can bring the product or its packaging to the store for a full refund.
