Where’s the Beef? Being recalled
In some lighthearted news any beef you have eaten since 2006 is being recalled, so start shoving those fingers down your throat now. No seriously they have just issued the largest beef recall in history over cattle being improperly inspected.
If there was ever a time to stop eating beef now may be the time. Considering the last largest recall was in 1999:
The move surpasses a 1999 recall of 35m lbs of ready-to-eat meats, officials said.
Some of the beef was destined for federal welfare assistance programmes, as well as some major fast-food chains.
But officials said most of the recalled meat has probably already been eaten.
The USDA described the recall as Class 2 - meaning there is a remote probability that the product could harm health if consumed.
“We don’t know how much product is out there right now. We don’t think there is a health hazard, but we do have to take this action,” Dick Raymond, USDA undersecretary for food safety, told AP news agency.
