2007 LISTERIA RECALLS

Holy crap, that's a lot of listeria recalls! No, wait, what I meant is, I found it mildly noteworthy that the first two official meat recalls of the year are for listeria. What's not at all noteworthy is that you haven't heard word one about these, nor about any recalls in 2006 other than those associated with fresh produce.

Also not noteworthy (but I just noticed it): That the USDA would issue a recall the day after Thanksgiving (hmmmmm, what day of the week might that be?) for more than 23 tons of turkey and ham products that were potentially contaminated with, you guessed it, listeria. Bet that recall helped alert a lot of people in time!
