Well sure, just read the link. But they keep updating. It went from hardly any meat to almost 9 million pounds, and the list of places it went keeps growing. New information all the time. This version of the pdf is 3/8/14. and itself says "EDITOR’S NOTE: FSIS decided to reissue the recall release first issued on Feb. 8, 2014 and updated on February 14, 2014. When the recall release was first issued on February 8, FSIS was unable to ascertain what facilities were involved. As the facilities were notified, the list of States affected grew. FSIS now believes that recalled product was shipped to distribution centers and retail establishments nationwide. This update is a consequence of a properly working recall process. Retail establishments may issue their own recall statements to inform the public about products processed with meat associated with this recall." Seems timely to me. What you been eating?

Not sure how to add one this late in the game, must be above my pay grade
We need a motivated mod

If I had some, I'd be numba 8

I can't wait until the rest of the name brands come out. Right now it is just meat products processed by all those 6400 establishments. Like all the store deli's, meat counters - anything they make, sausage, pasties, pizza, anything.

I do have some froze za and beef breakfast products, so I can't eat them until their name doesn't show up. This isn't just hot pockets. It is anyplace that buys boxed meat and uses it in products. was mighty white of Nestle to come forward right away about hot pockets. I wonder why we don't hear from ANYONE else?

Kinda makes ya wanna puke

So what's in your freezer?

I live in a small town and there are three grocers here. One of them is Wal-Mart and the other two are hometown types of places.

I patronize Wally World now and then, but I mostly shop at the sorta local supermarket which is part of a small chain.

Anyway, Monday I notice they had a few signs up pointing out that none of their meat came from this place and that all of it was sourced 'locally' which could mean anywhere with-in the state. I asked why the signs and they said their meat sales had taken a massive hit so they just wanted to get the word out that they were not a part of this deal.

There is one small grocer that sells only the meat they grow on their ranch. Their sales have picked up a bit but not much. Most people just seem to be avoiding all meat if they are concerned about this, at least around here.

Are they included in the list either by city or in the national section? There is a very small one family ~70year old grocery near me, I'd have to check how long they have been there maybe longer, in an unincorporated community in a 6x6 township. Nearest other grocer is well over 10 miles, next about 30. They actually have cattle out back and their own slaughter house and butcher facilities, they provide services for all sorts of cattle and game as well, run a smokehouse etc on top of a full grocery. They are on the list by name and city. Because at some point they took in at least a box of this meat in question for their processing. This stuff must have been gawd awful cheap for them to use it. It also casts dispersions on their "home grown' type products claims. Why on earth would they need to be importing pre-packaged meat from afar? What product(s) did they put it in?

Nope. All of their meat comes from they own ranch. It even has a milder taste to it.

And on the subject of tainted meat:

There is a place in Austin, Texas, I would like to recommend called 'The Kirby Lane Cafe' . They have two locations that I know of and for the most part if it is not from their own farms or ranch they don't serve it, and what they have to buy from vendors is all organic. The food has a milder taste to it, and when I am in Austin I never eat anywhere else unless someone else is buying.

My chicken is raised in Ohio, as is my pork. I know the personally know the farmer...he raises them on land I own in Ohio. I have a whole hog, butchered, in my freezer, as well as about 25 chickens cut up and whole.

Nearly all processed 'food' contains contaminated ingredients from China, and/or unhealthy ingredients like corn-sugar.

We are what we eat. Know where your food comes from and what it contains.

I avoid eating all industrial meat. They eat contaminated feed and are raised in conditions you would find unacceptable for your pets.

I prefer eating free-range, grass-fed, vegans. Omnivores and carnivores eat too high on the food chain. I don't eat other predators out of 'professional' courtesy.

However, if stupid sheeple want to eat contaminated faux food, I really don't care. It's just Darwin cleaning the shallow end of the gene pool. I'm not surprised that most of the obits are for people younger than me.

Nobody should tell another what, or what not, to cram in their pie hole. It's a personal choice to poison oneself anyway they want to.
