That's bad business practice. They had no HAACP plan or failed to enforce one. The reason why they had to recall so much is not because it has been contaminated, it's that they have no way of knowing if it has or hasn't. It's a huge problem that could have been eliminated by keeping weekly records, or god forbid, daily.

I don't know.. do the USDA inspectors have any responsibility in this?
It just seems that too many lawyers are involved in every aspect of everything to the point that nothing gets done anymore, or what does get done is ridiculously costly out of fear of litigation.

It's more than just a simple recall of bad beef. For every supermarket and any other institution that bought these bad burgers, I'm sure there is an accompanying lawsuit that needs to be defended, whether for just cause or not.

I don't blame them for closing up shop.

I think plants are inspected once a year. There are rapid methods for detecting living bacteria. It takes two minutes and they've been around since the early 90's. Pay some science grad $55,000/year to do it.

Mistress, please don't start a thread with such a title as this among a bunch of testosterone-laden guys on a Friday!

I was too easily tempted to post a smarta$$ response, but decided to leave that to the others...

Mea culpa, next time I'll do it on a Monday...an article like this makes you think about who ultimitely is responsible for quality control in meat production especially after the Looney Cow fiasco and the Avian Bird flu.

Centralization at work.

They are close to my house in Staten Island, somehow their stuff never looked appetizing.

Kuan made a good point about testing on site and of course there is the Kosher and Hilal butchers that probably are better. I don't eat meat and after the bird flu thing decided I should probably just stick to eating nuts and berries.

Don't eat meat, and most of our food comes from close by and produced by people we know. Trying to keep the connection of us and our food short and simple.

It tastes good to.

I think we can safely assume you are being publicly ignored.
