More Infected Meat: Cargill

1:42 pm EST November 3rd, 2007 | News | 7 Comments

Again.

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 O157:H7.

    Only a minor incident.
    This is not part of a pattern.
    There is no weakness is inspections, no matter what a head of a government agency said.
    It is a cruel, liberal plot to mention it.

    I think that’s it. Now Jay doesn’t need to show up at all.

    I always shout “E. Coli” like the Swiss guy in those commercials shouts “Ricola.” I have no idea why I said that.

    Discovered on October 8th?
    Boy, I’m glad I found out about it three weeks later, because I always wait three weeks before I eat fresh meat.
    Also, do you ever wonder what they do with the recalled meat? You have to know they don’t just throw it in the trash. It finds it’s way back into the food chain, somewhere.

    Feed it back to the cattle?

    What do you expect from a company with a name like Cargill Meat Solutions? ‘Meat Solutions’?

    If meat is the solution, what is the problem?

    Sounds like they should be making Soylent Green.
