An Illinois meat wholesaler has recalled more than 6,700 pounds of beef over fears of a possible E. coli contamination.

Valley Meats and the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the recall on New Year’s Eve.

The recall affected packages of ground beef and ground beef patties shipped to distributors in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Michigan. The products were then shipped to restaurants and retail stores. A full list of affected products is on the FSIS website.
