Plain-English summary
Win Opportunity Knocks, doing business as Ottomanelli Wholesale Meats Inc., is recalling approximately 6,020 pounds of fresh and frozen, raw ground beef products.

The affected products were produced between June 18, 2018, and July 11, 2018, and bear establishment number EST. 11167 inside the USDA mark of inspection.

Beef Patties, 10-lb boxes of frozen raw Nu Vista Foods Group Inc. Beef Patties, 10-lb boxes of frozen raw Ottomanelli Beef Patties, and 10-lb bulk bags of fresh raw Beef Patty Mix. These items were distributed for institutional use in Florida. The issue was identified when the establishment tested the product under its sampling program and found it positive for E. coli.
Institutions that purchased these products are urged not to serve or sell them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. FSIS advises that ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F to kill harmful bacteria.
