Illinois beef recalled from Wisconsin

By CATHERINE IDZERDA ( Contact ) Sunday, May 18, 2008 - 1:47 p.m.

CHICAGO (AP) — A Chicago-based company has recalled an “undetermined amount of beef products” distributed in 11 states, including Wisconsin, due to an E. coli scare, federal officials announced Saturday.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said no illnesses were reported Saturday with the voluntary recall from JSM Meat Holdings Co.

The meat being recalled is used in ground products. They include 30-pound, 60-pound and 47-gallon barrels of “MORREALE MEAT” beef products. The products have the number “EST. 6872” inside the USDA mark of inspection, federal officials said.

The products have 15 different labels including, “Boneless Chucks,” “Boneless Clods,” “Flat Rounds,” “Gooseneck Rounds” and “Knuckle.”

The problem was discovered by the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.

A message left for a JSM Meat company spokesman after business hours Saturday wasn’t immediately returned.

The other states affected were Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska and Pennsylvania.

I think that if you are grown up enough, people from Ill., we wouldn't be saying we are better than you are! Grow up and learn how to DRIVE!

Yes, it is a well-known fact that all people from Wisconsin are stupid. What a surprise to hear that you are from Illinois! Thank you for expressing your thoughts in terms that we can understand.

Not much good has ever come out of Chicago. Especially the Cubs and Bears.
