The beef recall system is either working or lucky

by Jason on October 15, 2009

Here’s a quickie on beef safety: there was a 925 pound recall of ground beef this week, which isn’t huge by industry recall standards, but I though the wording of the news was interesting. According to this version, nobody’s gotten sick and the company involved says that their own tests didn’t find anything.

So why the recall? Well, as per this version, the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service found it.

You make the call: multi-layered safety system at work, or damned lucky break?
