Multiple States Recall Beef Products Due to E. Coli Contamination
Elkhorn Valley Packing, a Kansas-based meat packer, is voluntarily recalling 1.7 tons of boneless beef chuck product due to the detection of E. coli in a sample. The product, which was packed on Feb. 16, was shipped to distributors, retailers, restaurants, hotels, and other establishments in nine states. The strain of E. coli detected produces a Shiga toxin and is called STEC O103. There have been no reports of illnesses related to the recall, and customers are advised to throw the meat out or return it to the place of purchase.
