US Beef Recall expanded
How can these Corporate industries continue to do sloppy work and make people sick and have to recall thousands of pounds of product that they have contaminated, and still make a profit.
Here is Reuters News source of the incident.
CHICAGO (Reuters) – A Colorado meat company is expanding a recall of beef due to possible contamination by E.coli O157:H7 bacteria after an investigation found 18 illnesses may be linked to the meat, the U.S. Agriculture Department said on Sunday.
Greeley, Colorado-based JBS-Swift Beef Co is voluntarily expanding its June 24 recall to include about 380,000 lbs of assorted beef products, USDA said. The original recall was for 41,280 lbs.
The affected beef was produced on April 21 and was distributed nationally and internationally.
E.coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacteria that can cause bloody diarrhea, dehydration, and, in severe cases, kidney failure. The very young, seniors, and persons with weak immune systems are at the most risk.
Consumers with questions can call 1-800-685-6328.
JBS Swift is a unit of Brazilian meat company JBS S.A..

It looks like this Beef has been shipped for 2 months and probably most of it has been consummed already. Or do they keep it frozen for some time before putting on the shelves?
I have stopped eating beef for some time now, as I don’t want to support this industry and because of the Mad Cow Disease, plus I don’t want E-coli sickness. I think it only involves Ground beef as I don’t think e-coli can infect steak and roasts and whole chunks of meat.
I think E-coli gets in the Hamburger when they grind it and mix shit with the product, because of not keeping their process areas clean from waste mater
The cattle in these holding yards are held in yards that are sometimes knee deep in their own body waste. So it is probably pretty hard to clean off all the E-coli bacteria befor killing these cattle for processing into a food source. If you only knew the process they go through before they end up on your plate for you to eat and enjoy.
That is why I just quit eating Pork and Beef for one. It has to many contaminates in it to be healthy anymore. Sodium Nitrites, Hormones injected and antibiotic injected, and fed a grain diet or soy products that have been GM by Monsanto.
You would be wise to start thinking about what meat you eat anymore also.
I think some enterprising Lawers should get together and sue the shit out of these Corporations for the damage they do to the publics health, with out regard or concern for the out come of their filthy processing of the food source they produce.
Another thing about these cattle yards in Brazil. They are destroying the rain forests there to make room to build these holding pens for all the cattle they process there, and to grow GM soy plants that they feed these cattle with, that make them sick and not fit to eat in the first place. Oh well, this is the facts of life now a days.
Grow it as fast as you can, as cheap as possible, and get it on the shelves in the market place.
I hope I didn’t spoil your dinner tonite.
