    BEIJING, May 19 (Xinhuanet) -- A Chicago-based company is voluntarily recalling an "undetermined amount of beef products" distributed in 11 states due to potential E. coli contamination, media reported Monday.

    The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Saturday no illnesses have been reported with the voluntary recall from JSM Meat Holdings Co.

    The meat being recalled is used in ground beef products, including 30-pound and 60-pound boxes and 47-gallon barrels of "MORREALE MEAT" beef products.

    There are 15 different labels including "Boneless Chucks," "Boneless Clods," "Flat Rounds," "Gooseneck Rounds" and "Knuckle."

    These beef products have the number "EST. 6872" inside the USDA mark of inspection.

     The products were distributed to establishments for further processing in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

    E. coli is a potentially deadly bacteria that can cause bloody diarrhea, dehydration, and in the most severe cases, kidney failure. The very young, seniors and persons with weak immune systems are the most susceptible to foodborne illness.
