CHICAGO (AP) - Federal officials say a Chicago-based company is
recalling beef products distributed in 11 states, including
Florida, due to an E. coli scare.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture on Saturday said no illnesses
have reported with the 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.
The problem was discovered by the USDA's Food Safety and
Inspection Service. Officials say an "undetermined amount of
beef" is being recalled.
A message left for a company spokesman after business hours
wasn't immediately returned.
The other states affected are Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin.
