Boxes of “Fully Cooked Black Angus Ground Beefsteak (chopped and formed)” from Kenosha Beef International are being recalled for a possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.

The ready-to-eat beef steak patty products were shipped to Illinois and North Carolina for distribution to restaurants.

The boxes are 35.3 pounds with product number 87657 and “use thru” date of Jan. 24, 2016, according to the USDA. The patties were made on Jan. 24, 2015, and they have establishment number “EST. 10130” in the USDA mark of inspection.

About 21,427 pounds of patties are being recalled.

A sample of the beef steak tested positive for Listeria, but no sickness from the patties has been reported to the Food Safety and Inspection Service or to Kenosha Beef International, the USDA stated.

Listeria can cause an infection, primarily affecting older adults, people with a weak immune system, pregnant women and newborns. People at higher risk who show flu-like symptoms within two months of eating contaminated food should seek medical care.

Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Dennis Vignieri at (262) 859-2272.
