Tainted beef leads to grocery recalls

sell By Aug 12 nice to get the word out on Aug 15

Interesting how they tell you after the expiration dates. Most people would have already consumed the meat. Little late don't you think?

I'd like to know how many inspectors are checking more and more food products coming here from China and I mean for human and pet consumption!

eat more taint

My first lesson in food safety came in 1984. My German girlfriend and I were visiting her family in Frankfurt. For breakfast, her mother served Pork Tartare. I mentioned that raw pork can kill you, and they laughed and said, "You Americans don't know how to raise livestock. You cram a thousand animals into a small area where they become infected with illness and spread it to each other. THAT is why you get sick." They were right. Food borne ilness very rarely occurs in organic, pastuer-raised animals. The giant food corporations dump an enormous amount of money into lobbying the government to make sure the FDA's rules maximize corporate profits, while preventing small farmers from competeing. Support local farmers and producers and you are putting the screws to big boys.

Now when we start down the deficit reduction road, is this one of the functions of "big brother" government that is going to get axed? Then who will watch over domestic and foreign food products? Do we let them police themselves, like the banking industry does? Boy, living in America is going to get real exciting in the near future!

Eating vegtables is any better.They are picked & shipped green. Some are gassed when they are loaded & others are gassed after they are delivered.Either way you are getting vegtables that have color,but aren't ripe. Ask truckers why the call Bananas MONKEY PICKLES. Ask receivers why they keep saying GREEN TOMATOES deon't have color to them. I always thought green was a color,but recievers think it's not a color unless it's called money.They want green tomatoes that have been gassed when loaded so they'll have color (RED) when they recieve them.

Hum, lets see, the 2nd meat recall in less than 2 weeks! AND, that is only the ones that are publicized. OH & don't tell us until the meat is already sold. Don't ya think it should be checked BEFORE it gets distributed? Big factory farms are not good for people, the animals or the planet! When are we as a nation going to DEMAND this practice stop?

Rebecca is correct - prisoners are being hired in the chicken processing plant AND the water plant where I work - in a county with 13% unemployment and NO JOBS!

I stopped eating beef years ago. I found that I was much less irritable when I wasn't gobbling hamburgers and steaks, so I stopped all together. I still don't know why that is. I tell most people this and they think I'm crazy. Am I?

Who the hell can afford beef these days? You have to sell a kidney to get a roast at my Kroger.

This is not the first time for the Dodge plant, maybe its time to set up more strict testing for proccessed foods.

Funny, scientists know that if you grass-feed beef E.Coli will reduce by 85%. It's not like we can trust the companies or our government to do anything about it though. The FDA is full of people either in-bed with these companies or are former employees to let them get by.

WHEN WE GRAZED CATTLE ON GRASS AND HAY GROWN NATURALLY WE DIDN'T HAVE THESE PROBLEMS.NOW WE INJECT THE CATTLE WITH GROTH HORMONES WE PUT ALL KINDS OF CHEMICAL INTO THE CATTLE FEED AND ALOT OF FEED COMPANIES EVEN MIX MANURE WITH FEED AND PACKAGE IT FOR SALE,ANY WONDER WHY WE HAVE SO MANY CASES OF TAINTED FOOD NOW DAYS,NOT ONLY MEATS BUT VEGGIES ALSO,CAUSE THEY USE THE COW MANURE FOR FURTILIZER AND SPRAY DOZENS OF CHEMICALS ON THEM ALSO.SO I GUESS ONLY WAY TO GET AWAY FROM THE NEW WORLD ORDER AND IT'S AGENDA OF DEPOPULATION OF THE WORLD IS TO GROW AND RAISE UR OWN FOOD.AND ONLY BUY STUFF U CAN'T RAISE OR GROW LIKE SUGAR AND SALT ETC,ETC.REMEMBER 1 OF THE WAY THEY PLANNED ON DEPOPULATION IS BY STARVATION

I don't recall this happing in the 50's and 60's

Cows are supposed to eat GRASS. Not CORN.
They get sick from eating corn and have to be injected with antibiotics to keep them alive as they stand in their own poo. Mass produced food is a joke, and the joke is on us.

thats why grass fed beef is the way to go

The FDA is getting paid off to look the other way!!!

Set one thing straight.........USDA Regulates meat and poultry..... not the FDA

This is what happens when you MASS PRODUCE animals.
They raise cow knee deep in their own poo, then herd hundreds at a time into the slaughter house with poo all over their hooves. Sanitation is nearly impossible.
