Almost 17,000 pounds of beef patties have been recalled by a Seattle company amid concerns the meat -- distributed in the western US -- is contaminated with a potentially deadly strain of E.coli.
Sysco Seattle fears the meat, imported from Canada, could have E.coli O157:H7 in it. Restaurants in Washington, Arizona, Texas and Colorado could be affected, The Seattle Times reported.
Subject to the recall are 10-pound (4.5kg) boxes of prime rib beef patties with the product codes 55391 and 55317 and production codes 11 NO 22, 11 SE 01 and 12 JA 04.
