One Great Burger beef recall (UPDATE)


A potentially major health issue in the news today, as a huge amount of beef is being recalled after inspections found the meat may pose a serious health risk to anyone who eats it.

The beef may not be an issue for regular consumers, though, as the company that distributes it is primarily a source for food at public institutions like jails and prisons. In fact the company, Onegreat Bugger, says all of the meat in question went to prisons and none is on sale for the general public, so there should not be any medical concerns for regular shoppers. Hopefully it will be easier to keep anyone from eating it since the meat was all sent to facilities that can catch it in time. Prisoners shouldn't be poisoned either!

More than 200,000 pounds of ground beef products sent to prisons in Oregon and California are being recalled after an inspection found they may be spoiled. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says products from One Great Burger in Elizabeth, N.J., were discolored and smelled wrong. The products came in 20 pound boxes of Onegreat Hamburgers, with the item number 02044 and the establishment number 34575. The products have packed-on dates between July and November 2010 and were distributed to institutions in California and Oregon.
