Wisconsin Recall of Abbyland Meats Beef Due to Ecoli O157:H7 Outbreak

Abbyland Meats, Abbotsford, Wisconsin, is voluntarily recalling approximately 78,600 pounds of fresh boneless beef that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced October 31, 2003.

Abbyland Meats products being recalled are various cuts of boneless beef shipped in containers of various weights and intended for further processing (grinding).  Each container bears the words "BONELESS BEEF" and USDA establishment number "EST. 1633" inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The beef was produced on Oct. 20, 2003, and distributed to wholesale establishments in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio, Illinois and Pennsylvania.

E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacteria that can cause bloody diarrhea and dehydration. The very young, seniors and persons with compromised immune systems are the most susceptible to foodborne illness.  If you feel that you suffer E.coli poisoning or that the death of a loved one was caused by E.coli O157:H7, it is urgent that you request an autopsy and appropriate testing. We are presently handling and investigating e.coli claims.
