JBS USA recalls boneless beef due to possible E. coli contamination

JBS USA Food Co. is recalling 4,860 pounds of imported boneless beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, according to the the US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

The problem was discovered when FSIS collected a routine product sample that confirmed positive for the presence of E. coli O157:H7. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.

FSIS is concerned that some product may be frozen and in cold storage at distributor or further processor locations. Distributors and further processors who received these products are urged not to utilise them.

The raw, frozen, boneless beef products were imported on or around November 10, 2020, and distributed for further processing.

The products were shipped to distributors and further processors in New York and Pennsylvania, the United States.
