Tyson’s ground meat was sent to Wal-Mart stores in 12 states

Updated: 23 minutes ago
SPRINGDALE, Ark - Tyson Fresh Meats Inc. on Friday recalled more than 40,000 pounds of ground beef shipped to Wal-Mart stores in 12 states after samples tested at a Sherman, Texas, plant showed signs of E. coli contamination.

No illnesses had been reported. Springdale-based Tyson Foods Inc. said the recall is not related to contaminated ground beef distributed by California-based United Food Group LLC.

The recalled products were sent to Wal-Mart stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas, Tyson said.

Wal-Mart has removed the products from its meat cases and is destroying the recalled ground beef still in its possession, officials said.

Tyson recalled 40,440 pounds of ground beef, all of which had sell-by dates of June 13. The ground beef was sold in prepackaged trays that were placed directly into the meat case.

The recalled products include:

1½-pound trays of Angus steak burger all natural, 85/15, 6¼-pound patties;
1.33-pound trays of Angus steak burger all natural, 85/15, extra thick, 4 1/3-pound patties;
2¼-pound trays of 73/27 all-natural ground beef; and
5½-pound trays of 73/27 all-natural ground beef.

1. That's it, I'm not eating anything that comes from America anymore.

If it has the "made in America" label on it, throw it out!

:P

[JeffR]

4. Chances are those "made in America" labels

were made in China. Next factory over from the one churning out American flags, I think.

[JeffR]

2. Mm, mm, bad

This is one of many reasons why I stopped eating cows decades ago.

Howya doin', helderheid? Nice to have you back.

[Error]

3. oh good

my Angus burgers from Walmart are 6-1/3 pound patties, so, hopefully they are safe.

[no_hypocrisy]

5. That what Walmart gets for bullying suppliers to give their stores

the lowest possible price wholesale. The quality is one of the first things that is compromised in order to deliver to Walmart.

6. Legalized murder=corporate America

It was caught this time by who? There should be inspection of our food supply. In the 50s and 60s I do not remember of having so much trouble with the safety of our food...only since we've had this "free trade" crap and corps not being restrained anymore. How many times does this need to happen before Joe Six Pac has a belly full? Only after many people die? Are we that brain-washed in this country. This crap would last 5 seconds in Europe...only Joe Sucker in the US puts up with this.

7. You are so right.

16. The world population has to drop

The resources of the earth are no longer sufficient to raise the Third World to an acceptable standard of living. We are living off our ecological capital and the total population must be reduced as quickly as possible if we are to achieve sustainability before feedback mechanisms make its attainment impossible.

If we substitute "Industrial Religion" for Catholicism, "ecology" for Copernicus' astronomy, and "Growthmen" for churchmen, we can see that a parallel situation exists today.

In the 16th century, Martin Luther established a new form of Christianity that ultimately came to regard work as the only way to obtain love and approval. But behind the Christian face arose a new secret religion that actually directs the character of modern society. At the center of Industrial Religion is fear of powerful male authorities, cultivation of the sense of guilt for disobedience, and dissolution of community by promoting hyper-individuality and mutual antagonism. The "sacred" in Industrial Religion is work, property, profit and power.

Industrial Religion is incompatible with genuine Christianity in that it reduces people to servants of the economy. The most aggressive and ruthless are rewarded with even more power and riches. Industrial Religion was destined to fail from the very beginning because it actively destroys its own premises (both morally and physically) by encouraging its members to dominate and exploit each other and nature.

Growth men are today's equivalent of the medieval churchmen. They refuse to look at the scientific evidence and "see for themselves", because once again, it means the defeat of their current religious dogma; it means that they must give up their faith that the problems caused by growth can be cured by more of the cause.
(the economic dream the rich corporates say NO ONE will take away from them)
There is however, one big difference between yesterday's churchmen and today's Growth men. Growth men carry the collective responsibility for the deaths of billions of lives as once-civil societies gradually disintegrate into insurrection, chaos, and oblivion.

Growth men Might as well be called the Cancer religion. Cancer kills it's host if it is not checked,by DEATH or forcable removal of the cancer.

8. I don't shop at Wallymart or buy Tyson but

I did eat ground beef a couple of times in the last week.

I feel fine though! :P

This is disgusting!! Poor Wallymart grocery shoppers have been screwed again!

[blues90]

9. I don't eat beef but what a waste

That's 20 tons of waste , all the cattle and the water and food all for nothing because we have no real FDA anylonger , what is there something like 6 inspection centers for the entire US.

[redphish]

13. What really pisses me off

is the Feds just threatened to sue one meat packing company that wanted to test all of their product. They said that would force other companies to follow suit. We can't be having all of that safety spreading around.

:shrug:

[undergroundpanther]

14. Safety costs money

Dumb consumers will eat it anyway. Living beings have to eat and if they refuse what the factories make, they'll have to eat dirt or each other.

Halfway sarcastic. No icon for that.

[blues90]

15. You are right -

I heard that story just lately . What concerns me is what will be the next thing thqat we find out is poison or killing people , I know there is more coming you just never know what but I'm certain someone does and they will hide it and let it happen until the word gets out .

[undergroundpanther]

17. Yep and they will

when the word gets out start shooting and microwaving protesters.
Their ultimate goal is to cause a massive human DIE off before the planet goes Kaput. Why was that dude allowed to travel with TB? Trying to start an epidemic? Yep I think so.The elites are saving their own asses and their STUFF, WE are expendable. That's why WE get the tainted meat.
They want us to CONSUME ourselves to DEATH. If that fails the curtain of democracy that has been concealing the stone cold wall of fascism that has always been at the core of corporate america,will be revealed and Out come the guns. The elites have no limits or morals, they will do ANYTHING to maintain control and their "economic dream".

The ultimate goal of corporate multinationals was expressed in a revealing quote by the president of Nabisco Corporation: "One world of homogeneous consumption. . . looking forward to the day when Arabs and Americans, Latinos and Scandinavians, will be munching Ritz crackers as enthusiastically as they already drink Coke or brush their teeth with Colgate." Page 31

In the book, Trilateralism, editor Holly Sklar wrote: "Corporations not only advertise products, they promote lifestyles rooted in consumption, patterned largely after the United States.... look forward to a post-national age in which social, economic and political values are transformed into universal values... a world economy in which all national economies beat to the rhythm of transnational corporate capitalism.... The Western way is the good way; national culture is inferior."

And to support whatever population has with "western lifestyles" would require a massive human Die off.

10. Marvelous. We just ate big burgers from those 5 1/2 lb trays.

WTF is going on around here the last few months? Who's behind all this tainted stuff??????????????

[undergroundpanther]

11. Everything is contaminated

Just a matter of DEGREE as to HOW contaminated it is. It is because we let corporations run our lives, and let them have the means of production and claim OWNERSHIP over it, WE let corporate secrecy and proprietary info be kept from us at the owners will.

We do not disobey leaders or bosses enough, we submit and scrape like a serf begging for a raise..We were taught obedience is virtue from our parents,then it was reinforced in church and school. We as a people are broken by the systems of control,and tamed, terrified of losing what we think we have..We fail at whistle blowing and watching out for each other because we are bound by the nuclear family model and it has ATOMIZED us and So fucking concerned over our OWN children's welfare..While we are forced to compete against each other in the market and work so we never have TIME to question the corporate rule and government intrusions into our lives..We hide from this fact in "entertainment"..We lie to ourselves about how we have let corporations dominate the way we live think and feel..They control what we eat and how,soon it will be how much too... Corporations control our lifestyles,by offering a bunch of choices THEY chose before we even had time to think of what WE may want.They tell us what to desire and they make the products to fill that manufactured desire.. They regulate our living and public spaces..Did corporations consult people in the 50's when they took over small farms and began to freeze fresh produce? No they hooked people on the idea of convenience. Give me death or give me convenience.. Yeah..Look where that game got us...

[hatrack]

12. Shocking! Underfund, understaff and undercut the FDA for six or seven years . . .

And lo and behold! Tainted meat starts showing up pretty much every fucking day all across America.

Who could POSSIBLY have predicted something like this?!?

:silly:

[undergroundpanther]

18. Get this on greatest people should know

And not eat it.
