Ohio Farms Recalls Veal Products Due To Possible E. Coli O103 Contamination

Plain-English summary

Ohio Farms Packing Co. Ltd., a Creston, Ohio establishment, is recalling approximately 40,680 pounds of boneless veal products and an undetermined amount of veal cutlets that may be contaminated with E. coli O103. The boneless veal products were produced between November 30, 2016, and February 3, 2017. The recall includes 60-lb boxes of Atlantic Veal & Lamb Inc. and Atlantic Veal & Lamb LLC boneless veal with specific product codes listed in the official notice. All veal cutlets were sold to food services, and none of the recalled product was sold directly to consumers.

The recall was initiated after the Illinois State Department of Agriculture notified the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) about a positive non-0157 Shiga toxin-producing E. coli sample. The products bear establishment number EST. 34569 inside the USDA mark of inspection and were shipped to distributors in Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Canada. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.

Companies that purchased products from Ohio Farms Packing Co. Ltd. should contact the firm directly to determine if their inventory is subject to the recall. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to use them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. FSIS advises consumers to safely prepare raw meat products and use a food thermometer to ensure ground veal is cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F.
