Gold Medal Packing Inc. (doing business as Copper City Meats) is recalling approximately 4,607 pounds of boneless veal and top bottom sirloin products because they may be contaminated with E. coli O26 and O45. The problem was discovered during routine sample testing, and while no illnesses have been reported, these bacteria can cause severe gastrointestinal distress. Affected products include various cuts of veal produced between August 16, 2016, and October 25, 2016, and sold in weights ranging from 10-lb boxes to large 2,387-lb bins.
Consumption of meat contaminated with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli can cause diarrhea (often bloody), vomiting, and in rare cases, a life-threatening kidney condition called Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS). Most people recover within a week, but children under 5, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems are at higher risk for severe complications.
