Food Safety News : reported that More than 20 tons of veal recalled over rare Shiga toxin E coli

The boneless veal products were produced Nov. 30, 2016 through Feb. 3, 2017. Many clinical laboratories do not test for non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), such as STEC O103 because it is harder to identify than STEC O157. Most people infected with STEC O103 develop diarrhea (often bloody), and vomiting. Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is uncommon with STEC O103 infection. The rare contamination was discovered when FSIS was notified by the Illinois State Department of Agriculture about a positive non-0157 Shiga toxin-producing E. coli sample.

40,000 pounds of veal from Ohio company recalled over E. coli concern

An Ohio packing company is recalling more than 40,000 pounds of boneless veal products, some of which are sold in Texas, because they may be contaminated with E. coli. The recall covers about 40,680 pounds of the meat from the Ohio Farms Packing Co. Ltd company, as well as an undetermined amount of veal cutlets, the USDA announced Thursday. Companies that purchase products from the company should contact them directly to find out whether or not the product may have be recalled, and should throw away or return the products. The cutlets were sold to food services, not directly to consumers. The products were produced between Nov. 30, 2016, and Feb. 3, 2017.
