Plain-English summary
Kenosha Beef International, a Columbus, Ohio establishment, is recalling approximately 21,427 pounds of ready-to-eat beefsteak patty product that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The recall involves 35.3-lb. boxes of Fully Cooked Black Angus Ground Beefsteak (chopped and formed) with product number 87657 and a use thru date of 01/24/16. The product bears the establishment number EST. 10130 inside the USDA mark of inspection.
The problem was discovered when a customer, a further processor, tested a sample of product produced on the same day as the recalled product (Jan. 24, 2015) and returned a positive result for Listeria monocytogenes. The product was shipped to distributors in Illinois and North Carolina for further distribution to restaurants. FSIS and the company have received no reports of illness due to consumption of these products.
Consumption of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns. FSIS advises all consumers to reheat ready-to-eat product until steaming hot.
