The USDA/FSIS reported that Elkhorn Valley Packing (Harper, Kansas) recalled approximately 3,436 pounds of boneless beef chuck product that may be contaminated with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) O103. The boneless beef chuck items were packed on Feb. 16, 2023. The beef chuck items were shipped to distributors, federal establishments, retail locations, and wholesale locations, which include hotels, restaurants, and institutions in Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. The problem was discovered when FSIS conducted routine testing of ground beef derived from this product, and the sample was confirmed positive for STEC O103. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Many clinical laboratories do not test for non-O157 STEC, such as O103, because it is harder to identify than STEC O157:H7. @ https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/elkhorn-valley-packing-recalls-boneless-beef-chuck-product-due-possible-e--coli-o103#:~:text=establishment%2C%20is%20recalling%20approximately%203%2C436,16%2C%202023
