Largest Meat Recall in US History
In what is being called the largest beef recall in history
Secretary of Agriculture Ed Schafer said in a statement, “Because the cattle did not receive complete and proper inspection FSIS has determined them to be unfit for human food and the company is conducting a recall.”
USDA officials were unclear how much of the recalled meat has been already consumed or removed from use by federal food programs.
The department also said that the Hallmark meat was not available to consumers through retail grocery or meat markets, but instead the beef was was sold wholesale to food companies that used it to make ground beef and products such as burrito filling, meatballs and sausage.
