Beef Recall Update

Last week I told you approximately yet another beef recall, and now I am here to tell you it has gone from not good to worse. Originally only 332,000 lbs of meat were recalled, but on Saturday, the Topps Meat Co. expanded its recall to include 21.7 million lbs of ground beef that may plus be contaminated with e. Coli.

This Elizabeth, NJ based beef company’s recall includes:

  • All Topps products with either a “sell by date” or “best whether used by date” amoung Sept. 25, 2007 and Sept. 25, 2008. The period can be found on the package’s back panel.
  • They plus have a USDA establishment number of EST 9748.

The USDA suspended the grinding of raw products at the Topps plant after inspectors found inadequate safety measures there. Terrific.

So far three

public have confirmed cases of e. Coli contamination and there are 22 other cases under analysis. Cases were found in Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Maine, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Check out the full list of recalled products here.

I don’t know approximately you, but a salad is looking really good approximately now.
