Ground beef products are recalled

Washington -- The U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service announced the recall of an undetermined amount of beef products due to possible contamination.

The FSIS said the JSM Meat Holdings Co. Inc. of Chicago initiated the voluntarily recall because the beef products intended for use in ground products might be contaminated with E. coli bacteria.

The recall involves 30- and 60-pound boxes or 47-gallon barrels of "MORREALE MEAT" beef products labeled as "Boneless Chucks," "Boneless Clods," "Flat Rounds," "Gooseneck Rounds," "Knuckle," "Heel Meat," "Scotties," "Trimmings 50," "Trimmings 60," "Trimmings 65," "Trimmings 70," "Trimmings 75,"
"Trimmings 80," "Trimmings 85" or "Trimmings 90."

The beef products were distributed to establishments for further processing in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
