WAR ON LISTERIA DECLARED

Yes, again. The USDA is trumpeting its new take-no-prisoners response to the wave of killer bacteria that have made headlines over the past year, and really getting tough now. Yes sir! Just listen to this: "The new USDA rule requires U.S. meat plants that produce ready-to-eat products exposed to the environment after cooking to develop a plan to prevent listeria, then to verify the effectiveness of the plan through testing". Oh man! Yow! Cowa-bunga! If you don't think this is gonna stop greedy producers from feeding Americans feces-smeared meat, well... you're probably right.
