Check your shelves no matter what. Spead the word.

I realize some of these cattle at Hallmark were abused, and could’ve possibly contaminated their hamburger with e coli, but wouldn’t the high temperatures that the soup is processed at kill any bacteria?

[SandRat]

Don’t know.

The cattle looked sick. Some were “down” and coudn’t walk properly. I’m more concerned about “Mad Cow” disease which might take years to show up in humans..

Darn. My can is the right UPC code, but a newer Use By date of 12/09. Does this mean I can’t get botulism?

Somebody please answer right now. I’m getting ready to cook it for dinner.

Thanks,

<Moooo!!!

Check with the store where you got it before using it or just don’t use it til you can.

Maybe. But nothing kills the prions that cause Mad Cow.

To Sandrat and Magslinger:

Thanks> I now have a new paperweight.

Now, where did I put that piece of week old pizza?

Bump.

Thanks granny.
Unfortunately, I have it...a lot of it.

Already ate it too...if anything happens, you all will know why.

[nw_arizona_granny]

Ohhh, dear,

Does that mean that you are going to get a bad case of “Mad Cow” disease, or rather mad bull disease?

Too late to worry about it now.

“Does that mean that you are going to get a bad case of “Mad Cow” disease, or rather mad bull disease?”

Lol...I’m resisting the urge to print what I’m thinking about it.

“Too late to worry about it now.”

Most certainly is, but no worries...I still remember the letters on the keyboard so all is well.

Thanks for your concern granny.
