A Northern California company is recalling more than 8.7 million pounds of beef. That is considerably more than the average family barbecue. 8.7 million pounds is enough to feed approximately 4 and a half million families! The beef was reportedly recalled because it was "processed diseased and unhealthy animals without a full federal inspection." It was processed by the Rancho Feeding Corp., which has recently been under scrutiny by the USDA Food Safety and Inspection. The products had been under the processing for about over a year - Jan. 1, 2013 to Jan. 7, 2014 - and were recently shipped to distribution centers and retail stores in California, Florida, Illinois, and Texas. The recalled bunch includes beef carcasses, oxtail, tongue, liver, cheeks, tripe, and veal bones. Rancho Feeding Corp. also messed up last month when they recalled forty thousand pounds of beef. Although there have no reports of illnesses yet, such an immense amount of beef being recalled must be a serious issue. The people of California are avid eaters of steak and hearing news like such scares most. Modern ties have allowed sufficient technologies and means to solidifying the validity of the steak being distributed, as this sort of situation should not be repeated again.
