WASHINGTON – St. Petersburg, Florida-based Win Opportunity Knocks, doing business as Ottomanelli Wholesale Meats Inc., recalled approximately 6,020 lbs. of fresh and frozen, raw ground beef products that may be contaminated with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) O45, O103 and O145, the US Dept. of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced on July 18.

The problem was discovered when FSIS received notification that the establishment tested the product and found positive results for E. coli under their sampling program.
