Food Recall on Beef Products for E.Coli
(0 votes)


Written by Ebony Jones on Sunday, 18 May 2008
Here we go again folks.  This time is tainted beef.

The U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service announced on May 16 that JSM Meat Holdings Company, Inc., based out of Chicago, Illinois, is voluntarily recalling beef products intended for use in ground products due to possible contamination with E. coli O157:H7.

The beef products being recalled include 30-, 60- pound boxes, combo boxes or 47-gallon barrels of "MORREALE MEAT" beef products labeled as "Boneless Chucks", "Boneless Clods", "Flat Rounds", "Gooseneck Rounds", "Knuckle", "Heel Meat", "Scotties", "Trimmings 50", "Trimmings 60", "Trimmings 65", "Trimmings 70", "Trimmings 75", "Trimmings 80", "Trimmings 85" or "Trimmings 90", according to the announcement.

The packages of the recalled beef bear the establishment number "EST. 6872" inside the USDA mark of inspection. The products were distributed to establishments for further processing in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

It appears that this stuff is meant for sale to restaurants of for use to make other products.  So maybe layoff the restaurant burgers and the like for a while. 

It is going to get to a point where the only thing you can eat in this country is cardboard...it will be about the only thing that is bacteria free.  Sigh.
