CHICAGO -- A Chicago company has recalled an "undetermined amount of beef products" distributed in 11 states, including Wisconsin, due to an E. coli scare, federal officials announced Saturday.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said no illnesses were reported Saturday with the voluntary recall from JSM Meat Holdings Co.
The meat being recalled is used in ground products. They include 30-pound, 60-pound and 47-gallon barrels of "MORREALE MEAT" beef products. The products have the number "EST. 6872" inside the USDA mark of inspection, federal officials said.
The products have 15 different labels, including "boneless chucks," "boneless clods," "flat rounds," "gooseneck rounds" and "knuckle."
The problem was discovered by the USDA. Other states affected were Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska and Pennsylvania.
E. coli, a potentially deadly bacteria, can cause diarrhea, dehydration and kidney failure.
