it is particularly a problem, because beef from so many cows is mixed all together, then packages are shipped to multi-state stores and eateries. Really hard to figure out where the offending meat got contaminated.

That's been a known problem for years, and one of the reasons I only buy our meat from a local store where it is ground on the premises.
