E. COLI SCARE PROMPTS BEEF RECALL IN 11 STATES
May 19, 2008 - A Chicago-based company is recalling beef products distributed in 11 states
because of possible E. coli contamination, federal officials say.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Friday that no illnesses have been reported from the
meat, produced by JSM Meat Holdings Co. The agency was uncertain how much meat is being
recalled.
The meat being recalled is used in ground beef products. Included are 30-pound and
60-pound boxes and 47-gallon barrels of "MORREALE MEAT" beef products.
The products have 15 different labels including, "Boneless Chucks," "Boneless Clods," "Flat
Rounds," "Gooseneck Rounds" and "Knuckle."
A message left for a company spokesman after business hours wasn't immediately returned.
The states affected are Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Missouri, Nebraska, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
E. coli, a potentially deadly bacteria, can cause diarrhea, dehydration and kidney failure.
That's the whole story.
