FSIS BEEF-E. COLI RECALL ANNOUNCEMENT: PENNSYLVANIA FIRM RECALLS BEEF PRODUCTS FOR POSSIBLE E. COLI O157: H7
WASHINGTON, April 20, 2007 – HFX, Inc., a South Claysburg, Penn., firm, is voluntary recalling approximately 259,230 pounds of beef products due to possible contamination with E. coli O157:H7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

The following beef products were recalled:

4,884 pounds of recalled ground beef were produced on various dates between April 5, 2007 and April 19, 2007 and were distributed to retail stores in Pennsylvania.
254,346 pounds of recalled beef steaks, stew meat, and other cuts of beef were distributed only to restaurants in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia, and were not sold through grocery stores, nor are they available to consumers in any other way.

An investigation carried out by FSIS and the Pennsylvania Department of Health has linked several illnesses to steak products produced at the plant for Hoss's Family Steak and Sea Restaurants, a Pennsylvania-based restaurant chain. 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.
