This Is Not a Drill: Hot Pockets Yanked From Shelves for Containing ‘Diseased and Unsound Animals’

We don't know what an unsound animal is, but we're pretty sure we don't want to eat one


If you were planning to eat a Hot Pocket today, you might want to reconsider that decision. Several varieties have been recalled after it came to light that some of the products’ meat had not undergone proper inspection, CBS Baltimore reports.

More specifically (and more vomit-inducingly), some of the meat — if affiliated with the California-based Rancho Feeding Corporation — could have come from “diseased and unsound animals,” according to a news release from the USDA. The Giant supermarket chain has pulled the Philly Steak & Cheese and Croissant Crust Philly Steak & Cheese varieties, according to CBS Baltimore.



Wait a minute. Hot Pockets have meat?

My wife has turned into a pseudo-nutritionist recently. We've watched so many food documentaries on Netflix in the last few weeks. Basically what it comes down to is hardly anything out there worth eating is healthy. ;) The biggest misconception is probably that diet soda helps your diet. It actually makes it worse.

Just watch enough "how's it made" type shows on the Food Network or Discovery. The plant supervisors and workers always talk about making a "product" .....I think I would rather eat food instead of a product.
(But I am too cheap to buy food vs a product) ;)

Let's see. What disease affects cattle that isn't easily killed by heating the food?

Mad Cow Disease?

Especially since any other time, they say, "possibly contaminated with E Coli, or possibly contaminated with <something else>. This time, they're kind of hush hush about what the disease is.
