E. Coli virus found in meats - full story

be careful!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A total of 47,000 pounds of ground beef has been recalled because it may contain the harmful bacteria E.coli 0157:H7, the U.S. Agriculture Department said Wednesday. Skylark Meats, Inc., a Nebraska firm, voluntarily recalled its ground beef products that were packed on Sept. 14 and distributed to wholesale establishments in Arizona, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.


The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service discovered the problem through an agency traceback of an E.coli positive sample taken from a Raleigh, N.C., supermarket reported two weeks ago, the department said.

Also being recalled were boxes of ``Laura's Lean Beef'' with a label that bears ``92/Lean'' with the case code ``000100.'' The box contains six 10-pound packages labeled ``92/8LLB Ground Beef.''

I had some burgers at an Intel convention a few days ago but I'm not dead yet, whew (Live in Texas)

And as long as you eat it fully cooked, regardless of wether it has E Coli or not you're safe.

the problem is many people don't cook the meat themselves...

the one who usually cooks it is some snot nosed kid who
doesn't give a damn about cooking everything right

 

[vi edit]

I always have, and always will order my burger/steak ect well done.
If it's still pink - it goes back to the kitchen.

Die! E Coli Die!

Steak is not a problem with E Coli - E Coli lives on the surface of beef. When beef is ground up all the E Coli gets mixed into the middle of the ground beef, therefore making not-fully cooked burgers dangerous. Even a medium rare steak with E Coli (dead that is) is safe to eat. Thats why these E Coli breakouts only occur with burgers or ground meat. (There was a breakout of Ecoli in raw vegetables a few months ago but I'm not sure what happened with that)
