Elkhorn Valley Packing has recalled approximately 3,436 pounds of boneless beef chuck product due to possible contamination with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

The outfit, based in Harper, Kansas, issued the recall after an FSIS routine inspection of a sample of ground beef that derived from the boneless beef chuck product tested positive for this strain of E. coli bacteria, also known as STEC O103.
