    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 Cargill’s 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 nation’s
    largest privately held companies. It makes food ingredients, moves
    commodities around the world and runs financial commodities trading
    businesses.

    Isn't it fantastic timing that the recalls *always* come after
    the use-by dates?

    This way the manufacturers minimize losses by not having to
    refund any money for beef already consumed.

    "The Agriculture Department found a problem with a sample of the
    beef produced on Oct. 8"

    ....almost a month ago.

    It's all a huge, political game to them. Unfortunately, several
    people (probably children) will have to die before Congress calls
    for an investigation of the timing of these recall incidents.
    Not that there's much to "investigate" anyway.

    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.

    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 Cargill’s 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 nation’s
    largest privately held companies. It makes food ingredients, moves
    commodities around the world and runs financial commodities trading
    businesses.

    Products that are being recalled:
    • 1.3-pound packages of “Century Farm 80/20 Ground
    Beef.” Each package bears a Use by/freeze by date of 11/03/2007.
    • 3.0-pound packages of “Century Farm 80/20 Ground
    Beef.” Each package bears a Use by/freeze by date of 11/03/2007.

    Isn't it fantastic timing that the recalls *always* come after
    the use-by dates?

    This way the manufacturers minimize losses by not having to
    refund any money for beef already consumed.

    "The Agriculture Department found a problem with a sample of the
    beef produced on Oct. 8"

    .....almost a month ago.

    It's all a huge, political game to them. Unfortunately, several
    people (probably children) will have to die before Congress calls
    for an investigation of the timing of these recall incidents.
    Not that there's much to "investigate" anyway.

    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.

    The FOX TV News talking heads mentioned that Topps (the frozen burger co.)
    went out of business as a result.

    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.

    I suspect many of the people who actually got sick probably
    didn't:

    1. Go to a doctor/hospital
    2. Get tested
    3. Get an accurate diagnosis
    4. Save their receipt (which is one benefit of loyalty cards)

    The people that were tested and questioned by the CDC have the
    strongest cases, they would still need to prove they bought and
    ate the meat. The courts/lawyers would need a higher burden of
    proof then the CDC.

    And in this case, there were no *reported* sicknesses. Which
    probably lead to the delay in the recall.

    And this one was just co-incidence that they caught it as most
    meat isn't tested. Notice they didn't recall anything but ground
    beef. What happened to the steaks and roasts?

    I only buy the store-ground meat, which reduces the chances at
    least 50-fold. Usuually I just buy brioskets when they hit
    $.99/lb and grind those up 1-2 at a time into smaller freezer
    packages. Not so much because I'm worried, but because I'm a
