Elkhorn Valley Packing beef chuck recalled due to possible E.coli
Elkhorn Valley Packing recently recalled 3,436 of its boneless beef chuck. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service posted the recall after discovering the beef chuck possibly contained E. coli during testing.
Consuming food with E. coli can lead to diarrhea (often bloody) and vomiting, along with more severe illnesses. The normal treatment for E. coli illness is vigorous rehydration and supportive care.

The beef chuck recall impacts various weights of corrugated boxes marked “Elkhorn Valley Pride Angus Beef 61226 BEEF CHUCK 2PC BNLS; Packed on 2/16/23.” The packages are marked “EST.

Salento Organics dark chocolate fruit, peanut bites recalled due to undeclared milk

It applies to various lots of 4-oz. packages of Dark Chocolate Pitaya Bites, Dark Chocolate Goldenberry Bites, Dark Chocolate Mango Bites, Dark Chocolate Banana Bites, Dark Chocolate Pineapple Bites and Dark Chocolate Peanut Bites.
The chocolate bites products may contain undeclared milk. Salento initiated the recall after discovering the milk-containing product was in packaging that did not reveal the presence of milk.

Consumers who have purchased the recalled products should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
