An East Tennessee school district served years-old pork to students for lunch and is now implementing new food-handling procedures.

Local media outlets report that the frozen meat had dates of 2009 to 2011 and was served to students in the Hawkins County district on April 22. No sicknesses have been reported.

Director of Schools Steve Starnes says a new inventory system went into effect last Friday. All current frozen items were inventoried, and outdated items were discarded.

It might have been safe to eat, maybe not but the taste must have been horrible.

If something stays in my freezer over a month it usually loses some flavor.

Who said it was freezer burned.

If it was tasted fine it would be ok to eat.

They Tyrant gets daily waygu beef flow in
for HIS Moslem Indonesian family, but American
children cannot have Oreos or food from their
parents, but are given this disgusting rot.

Only the EXEMPT, lying, odious GOP (Give Obama Power)
party would permit this to continue.

And they have. And they will.

Food and Drug administration should be all over this....Not...

Seriously someone should lose their job over such poor food handling and control procedures

I carry frozen food items for sale and the FDA wrote a 14 page document report and six visits because I carry individually wrapped tuna wedges...and did not have a chain of custody form from the frozen food truck to my freezer....

I kid you not...

Hells Bells, 6 years in the freezer is nothing.

http://listverse.com/2013/12/14/10-foods-edible-after-an-incredible-length-of-time/

“Mammoth corpses can and have been found with plenty of meat on their bones, due to the bodies lying in areas covered in permafrost. Some of this flesh is indeed edible. Many unconfirmed but interesting stories tell of hungry explorers, usually Russian ones, taking bites out of mammoth corpses.

We also have some confirmed cases of people eating food tens of thousands of years old. Like the paleontologists who cooked and ate a dish made with the marrow of a 50,000-year-old horse bone. Or the researchers who ate a piece of meat from a 36,000-year-old bison corpse, for no other reason than to see if they could.”

Was this a deep freezer or the standard freezer compartment of a refrigerator? My mother used to keep all sorts of things in her deep freezer for decades — meats included. No one had food poisoning.

In late 1990s I ate beef frozen in 1940s. I also ate canned beef made around earlier 1980s at the time. Frozen meat wasn’t as good as a finest grilled porterhouse but pretty much OK in a stew. As for canned meat I came to conclusion it is safe to eat forever when cans were stored properly. All you need is to look of there are corroded, damaged or inflated cans to toss them. The older the better because they haven’t used to put soy and crap like that earlier.
