Ground beef and ground beef patties affected by the recall were sent to distributors in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Michigan
An Illinois meat wholesaler has recalled more than 6,700 pounds of beef over fears of a possible E. coli contamination.
Valley Meats and the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the recall on New Year’s Eve.
The recall affected packages of ground beef and ground beef patties shipped to distributors in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Michigan. The products were then shipped to restaurants and retail stores. A full list of affected products is on the FSIS website.
Wait wait wait. You mean that the pink slime STILL contained e-coli from carcasses that were poorly washed clean of fecal matter, even after the ammonia wash treatment? I’m shocked, this is only the unpteenth time this kind of thing has happened.
Ground beef should have comparable cost to stewing steak (which should also cost more, but that’s another topic). These dangerous shortcuts kill people, but hey they’ve undergone regulatory capture for a while now so don’t worry - your government says it’s fine 👍
