Cargill in trouble again

Fresno-based Beef Packers, Inc (owned by Cargill) had a huge recall this summer due to tainted meat and amazingly, it is still selling to the governmental school lunch program! For the second time in a year, the company recalled thousands of pounds of ground beef that were contaminated by antibiotic-resistant Salmonella bacteria. It recalled 826,000 pounds of beef last summer after people in 11 states grew ill and now is recalling 23,000 pounds linked to a new outbreak. The Salmonella contaminating the beef was resistant to multiple antibiotics, including cephalosporins, which are very valuable in human medicine.Read more about the recall from USA Today.
