Another recall
First Sams,now this...not just the patties this time-Dont know who on
here lives in what area,but thought I,d post it anyway since it countrywide--- Smitty From <MSNBC 1 million pounds of beef recalled on e-coli fears Cargill says meat processed Oct. 8-11 may be contaminated with bacteria WASHINGTON - The giant agribusiness company Cargill Inc. said Saturday it is recalling more than 1 million pounds of ground beef that may be contaminated with E. coli bacteria. The ground beef was produced between Oct. 8 and Oct. 11 at Cargill Meat Solutions plant in Wyalusing, Pa. and distributed to retailers across the country. They include Giant, Shop Rite, Stop & Shop, Wegmans and Weis. Cargill learned the meat may be contaminated after the Agriculture Department found a problem with a sample of the beef produced on Oct. 8, the company said. The bacteria is E. coli 0157:H7. No illnesses have been associated with this product, said John Keating, president of Cargill Regional Beef, said in a statement. We are working closely with the USDA to remove this product from the marketplace. E. coli is harbored in the intestines of cattle. Improper butchering and processing can cause the E. coli to get onto meat. Thorough cooking, to at least 160 degrees internal temperature, can destroy the bacteria. E. coli 0157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause bloody diarrhea and dehydration. The very young, seniors and people with compromised immune systems are the most susceptible to E. coli. Cargill Meat Solutions, based in Wichita, Kan., is the umbrella organization of Cargills beef, pork and turkey businesses. The Wyalusing plant produces 200 million pounds of ground beef annually. Cargill Inc., based in Wayzata, Minn., is one of the nations largest privately held companies.

If anything, the longer a recall for tainted food is delayed, the more litigation is bound to result. Its anybody's guess if the cost to recall this meat sooner would outweigh the cost of the litigation, which is bound to occur. |

Yup, for any food processing business to survive, it has to take steps to reduce the likelihood of its spreading food-born illness as much as possible. |

This should help the sale of meat grinders. I just don't buy the store stuff considering the risks. |
