Aurora Packing Company, Inc. is recalling approximately 4,838 pounds of bulk beef heel and chuck tender products due to possible contamination with E. coli O157:H7. The affected beef was produced and packed on February 27, 2019, and was shipped for institutional use in Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin. No illnesses have been confirmed to date, but institutions are urged to check their freezers for these cardboard box cases and return them to the place of purchase for a refund or throw them away.
The beef may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, a bacterium that can cause severe stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea, and dehydration. In some cases, especially among young children and older adults, the infection can lead to a serious type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).
