The raw, ground beef items being recalled by Interstate Meat Dist. Inc. were produced on Dec. 20, 2021, and were sold by Albertsons, Kroger, Walmart and WinCo. These items were shipped to retail locations in Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.

The packaging has establishment number “EST. 965” inside the USDA mark of inspection or printed next to the timestamp and use or freeze by date.

The issue was reported to the U.S. after a retail package of ground beef was purchased and submitted to a third-party laboratory for microbiological analysis and the sample tested positive for E. coli O157:H7. The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service conducted an assessment of the lab’s accreditation and methodologies and determined the results were actionable.

Yes, this is the 2nd or 3rd incident like this since Biden took office. I wasn't paying close attention during the Trump years, but I don't recall these types of problems cropping up during his term.

Meat and egg recalls are relatively frequent. Over 20 million pounds in 2019.

Gotta get those meat prices higher.

Get all of our beef and pork from a local (CT) herd - butchered within a few miles of the farm.

No longer mess with industrially produced meat.

It happens.

LOL...that’s a good one! Snort!

[americas.best.days...]

I can’t even wrap my head around the idea of buying and consuming meat from Wal-Mart.

I understand many do, God love them.

[Alas Babylon!]

What?

In many parts of the South, Walmart is the only grocery store for miles.

There’s nothing wrong with it compared to any other store, unless you are a snobby Leftist.
