Shocking that they aren't recalling the beef from the infected cow. I assume it ends up in some bigger lot of meat that woudl be a pain to recall, but still. For PR reasons alone it is worth it to clean this up quick. Hiding the problem, and playing it down is the total wrong approach.

Yes. it may be a major pain since it may have already been eaten!

Hiding the problem,

It may have already been flushed down the toilet.
