SANTA CLARA, Calif. —

Federal officials announced Wednesday that the San Jose Valley Veal company was recalling approximately 1,260 pounds of veal trimmings that may be contaminated with E. coli.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said the following products are subject to the recall:

  • 60-pound, cardboard box cases of “SAN JOSE VALLEY VEAL AND BEEF INC.” boneless veal trimmings.

The boxes may contain the case codes: “L-1 11112,” “L-1 11212,” “L-1 11512,” “L-1 11612,” “L-1 11712,” “L-1 11812” or “L-1 11912” and also bear the establishment number “EST. 2828” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

Federal inspectors said the products subjected to the recall were produced between Nov. 1 and Nov. 9, 2012 then were transported to a federal facility for further distribution.

Both federal and company officials are concerned that some product may be frozen and in customers’ freezers.

The problem was discovered when a customer tested a shipment of veal and reported non-negative results.

The customer held the shipment pending laboratory results, but other product from the producer’s same lot had already shipped.

There have been no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of these products. Individuals concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.
