E. Coli, Again

The whole "solutions" moniker that so many companies have employed in this country has amused me for some time, but this is a new high (low?). Cargill Meat Solutions Corp has just announced another ground beef recall because of e. coli contamination. So, it seems that it would be best to continue to avoid ground beef, to be on the safe side. Meat Solutions? Seriously, is that laugh-out-loud funny or what? Meat Solutions. Ha!

The article I read comes from Minnesota's Center for Infectious Disease Research & Policy.

Incidentally, I have "Health and Wealth Solutions for Your Business" as the subtitle for our WhealthWatcher$ presentation materials.

Oh, and if you were to read the entire CIDRAP article, you would discover that there is a beef industry website called "Meatingplace.com". How funny are these beef people?

E. Coli is the Topps

Even though most of the tainted beef has likely already been consumed, you might want to avoid ground beef for a little while. Check your freezer as well.

From USA Today -

"The product, mostly preformed patties, was distributed nationwide. The packages have the establishment number 9748 and sell-by dates of Sept. 25, 2007, through Sept. 25, 2008. The plant has halted production, and the investigation continues. A recall list is at www.toppsmeat.com."
