22 TONS OF BEEF RECALLED FOR E.COLI

This was supposedly released last night, so I guess it doesn't quite qualify as a Friday recall, but it's sure close. Serial offender Excel Corp. (a subsidiary of Cargill) has recalled 45,000 pounds of beef when some of it tested positive for E.Coli. The meat was "sold to distributors in Kansas, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Missouri, Alabama, Illinois, Texas and Minnesota" and from there, who knows? "Because of the repackaging, consumers will not be able to check lot numbers to determine whether their purchase is part of the recall. They will need to ask their grocers whether any of their product is involved in the recall." Oooh, hope you heard about this so you can take the initiative to ask your grocer. If not, good luck!
