force feed it to the polticans who protect these companies for profits. then force feed it to the CEO and all who let this happen. america food system is the worst in the entire world literally. this country is becoming unlivable. then force feed it to all the trolls on here who defend these factory farms.

don't forget to force feed it to rc-4121998 so as to mute the vile that spews from its mouth

Notice that the dates are way long time ago. All that beef or the vast majority of it that is not frozen will have been consumed by now so that way they are off the hook. I buy my beef from a locl butcher who has never had a recall...

The worst in the world! Yeah right. Try the best in the world! there are a LOT of places on this earth that WOULD GLADLY take this recalled beef off our hands and feed it to their people WITHOUT ANY health concerns. Proper cooking will kill this problem.

Tainted meat tastes like crap I used to hunt and once meat spoils and thats what it is as bacteria miltiply in it no longer is it palitable. Quit trolling for the beef industry.

Howmanyfingers

That's okay, it gives the beef more flavor.............barf!!!

Well recall how aound 2006 when it was revealed that oyster farmers in China were feeding their oysters raw sewerage? Laws already on our books requiring food producers to label on their product the nation of origin had been ignored and not enforced. I'm sure that Americans who consumed oysters, and other fish and shell fish raised in Chnese farms, also consumed human feces, and most likely industrial waste products as well.

Send it to Mexico; They're used to it.

Saw this on yahoo news this morning, perfect time for this type of thing....http://finance.yahoo.com/news/biopet-vet-lab-unveils-integrimeat-185800630.html

Looks like it will take small businesses like this one to regulate the big dogs...from now on I will only buy beef whose label claims I can verify for myself and who can accurately track product recalls. More and more we need small business to fill the gaps created by the FDA and USDA.

My husband was one of the folks who got sick...this was the worst two weeks he's had. We would love to buy our meat local and/or organic, but we can't afford to. The cost is too much for us; it seems the better you treat your animals, the higher the price of the meat.

It's our own Government that is doing this.....every month or less there is a story about people getting sick from our own food......the All Seeing Eye!!! One world Government, population reduction is their main goal.

The company gave enough of a crap to recall the meat before anybody even got sick from it, apparently. That's worth a lot, in my opinion.

Before anyone got sick from it? Where's that evidence? The sell/ use by dates were in May and June... so chances are decent that someone got sick from it.

SF accountant, might want to look at your calendar...

That's the problem - crap in the beef!

more above the law corporate companies and polticans. if america had a proper system then these CEO and lawmakers and polticans who protect them should get death penalty for all the victims who die from this. the factory farm system is destorying america in every way possible. this is what happens when the goverment and corporate companies get so powerful. is the rest of the world taking notes from the western countries? dont let the goverment and corporates get this much power. now its to late. america will never be fixed.

I' sorry, but with a June 16 sell by date, that is long gone. The only remains would be if someone froze it. This warning is waaaaaaaay tooooooooo laaaaaate!

The company gave enough of a crap to recall the meat before anybody even got sick from it, apparently. That's worth a lot, in my opinion.

consumers should check their ground beef for "use or sell by" dates between May 29 and June 16.

Well your opinion in light of the above is worth just about as much as the tainted meat is. Probably tainted by that pink slime crap they sweep up off the floor.

They will just take the recalled meat and reprocess it with that amoniuim dioxide or whatever that crap was and resell it as pink slime. The USDA will say it's OK, thus saving another corporation from taking a loss.

Corporation happy,Government happy, Citizens get screwed again.

COMMING SOON TO A McDONALDS NEAR YOU!

no one got sick mayb u didnt read the article it say 10 people got sick in the head line try reading b4 posting

Shelf life of ground beef is in days this crap was sold months ago. How about testing it before you ship it for a change. Oh I know why might cut into the rich folks profits for a few pennies and who care mostly poor fols eat graund beef any and they are ex[endable right? <S>

Being stationed in Belgium during 86-89 we are not allowed to give blood either.

Here Windancersong: Enjoy the next clip ( while it still up, for some strange reason, they will collapse it ). If my link happens not to work, just type "Stomach of the Cow" on Youtube.

Pay attention of what it says (around 0:38) . See you.

Interesting, thanks. People don't realize the organism can be spread by snakes,birds,lizards,frogs, turtles, in addition to showing up in milk, cheese and eggs.

It is also not the stores' fault. I worked for a food brokerage company and corporate orders something and the store has to assume it is OK. Please place the blame on Cargill where it belongs

Yeah, just like the chicken & sweet potato pet treats. Grocery, pet & big box stores are aware of the problems linked to these products.

Their solution?!?! Put them on clearance to recoop their $$, to hell if if sickens or kills a pet.

Store routinely gas meats & produce to lengthen shelf life.

nj reader, prove these facts. It's easy to say this stuff from your locked up room at the local sanitarium. Oh... your not locked up in the crazy people place? Prove that too. You just keep eating your vegi's and leave the expert opinions to the experts.

There are facts that most people don't know about the Cargill company that are good. Go to their website and look at their contributions to communities and world hunger. If your going to form opinions and conclusions, make sure you have all of the facts! Go to the Cargill web site and educate yourself nj reader.

You are correct. How many have to sicken or/and die before someone gets the message like the peanut butter issue a short while back?

What a ridiculous comment John. Same for you Pat.

Both Parties are guilty. Look at who is head of the USDA, Tom Vilsack, appointed by Obama. Vilsack is a MonSatan crony. Obama's Food CZAR, another MonSatan crony. Where is Michelle & her influence on cleaning up the food? Where is Obama's PROMISE to label GMOs?

You both are SUCH LIBERAL MISINFORMED HACKS!

Go to nj readers farm and livestock company. Stay away from those big boogey man companies and buy your products from nj's grocery.

We all don't live in rural USA you numbskull, where are we supposed to buy our food? Your one of those people who know all the issues but have no solutions for them.

I eat rare meat. Of course I do not buy from a grocery stores or Walmart or eat at restaurants.

Over cooking meat is harder to digest & kills the nutritional value. One thing it can't kill is the prions of Mad Cow Disease.

But nothing wrong with well done meat. I prefer my meat to be cooked, not raw, which is why I order well done.

Just because you cook your meat well, it doesn't necessarily mean you want it coated in bacteria.. I've seen and purchased the meat in Hannaford, it's often covered in 'manager special' labels and green. Half the good meat you buy smells rank, and the top layer is falling away from bacterial-aided decomposition.

Maybe that's acceptable for you when you're paying almost an hour at minimum wage for a pound of meat, but in most developed countries, that's considered appalling.

Cooking the meat itself isn't the only issues, if while it's cooking and you happen to get any splash-back, you, your family members and any delicate pets you may have, can inhale/swallow harmful bacteria.

I refuse to touch their ground beef now, or ever again.. we only eat ground beef a few times a year as it is, and within a twelve month period (last year) we were involved with two separate Hannaford beef recalls, with family members getting sick, after finally thinking "Ok, it *may* be safe to try them again".

When I still shopped there, every three out of four trips, I wouldn't see a single cut of beef worth purchasing. (This isn't isolated; to avoid poor meat I've shopped at 6 or 7 Hannafords in southern Maine). You can sometimes smell the rot from several feet away. I've gone to small, local butchers, who touch the various cuts of meat and machines with their bare hands, and returned to them over Hannaford, because I trust their judgment and practices more!

Sounds like Hanfords is the culprit here. I would quit buying meat from them. Most chains get their meat from many different providers or wholesalers. There are lots of chances for cross contamination from these sources. Sounds like Hanford has too many issues with their meat to be pinning it on one particular source. Cargill would pull the product for consumer safety as a precaution, even if there was some concern about the real source of the problem.

When large manufacturing companies produce products in large scale, in this case internationally, there are going to be issues that arise just from a law of averages standpoint. People like to pick scabs for some reason and large corporations seem to be the scab that consumer activist like to pick the most because they're the easiest.

It takes more than appropriate cooking. Many people do not use instant-read meat thermometers, and very few practice the kind of hygiene in the kitchen that would keep you safe. I see people at BBQs all the time putting cooked burgers back on the same plate that held the raw burgers, using the same spatula to turn them, not washing their hands thoroughly after handing raw meat or making the burger patties. They wipe their hands on a kitchen towel rather than washing them, they touch a contaminated cutting board or cut veggies on it, don't clean countertops properly...the list goes on and on. Encountering the bacteria in any of these ways can make somebody really sick. But lots of folks think proper food hygiene is silly, and I know several who "don't believe" in E.coli or salmonella.

I turn into a vegetarian at parties because I witness so much bad kitchen hygiene I don't want to eat the food! I bring a pasta salad and stick to that!

There still could be some in the freezer.

Actually anything containing any product made from corn on the shelf which is sold by the biggest names in the food industry, stands an excellent chance of being genetically modified.If it is soybean, it is 100% GM.Plus there are many other items with GM in them. I learned quite a lot when I took some coursed in college and it has helped me understand how much the food industry and big business does not have the average consumer's best interest in at heart.

Oops, up all night, meant to say took some courses in college, - does not have the average consumers best interest in mind.(now I go to bed!)

Very sad. And most had miserable lives to provide unhealthy meat.

80% of you, then need to make better choices. Buy better products. You do not need to eat meat everyday but, when you do, eat quality.

Same goes for fruits & veggies. Buy organic, buy locally, buy seasonally, it will not cost as much.

Stop buying sodas, chips, refined/enriched breads & canned goods. Instead buy in bulk, nutrient rich, organic, beans, lentils, flours & such.

Stop whining about the crap that is offered in the box stores & conventional groceries. Just Don't Buy It. Make better choices with your wallet. If there is no demand, the supply will dry up.

Yeah, like who has meat that long in their fridge. A little too late.

Cows do not naturally eat corn & grains.

Personally, I'm happy that all the MonSatan GMOed crops are failing. I think it is Mother Nature purging the poisons.

Maybe, just maybe, the farmers that continue to buy into MonSatan's lies will wake up.

In fact, poultry & swine do not naturally eat corn & grains.

All of the animals are grazers, foragers & ingest insects.

Grass-fed, free-range, pastured meats are much safer & taste better.

Let me guess, cattle, swine and poultry comes from Mc D's. Right? Might want to get out of your backyard a little more often. Good grief!!

JB, can't entirely blame the farmers, they are virtually forced to buy and use Monanto's seeds. And they can't save seed from the year before to use in the currant year, somehow the corporation got that made illegal . Read that a few years back, have to recheck my facts for the nasty details. As usual, the corporations have too much power in most areas of our lives.

uh no. This is what happens when the FDA is filled with people from the meat packing and other food industries. It doesn't take a genius to see this connection with the increase in recalls and food-borne diseases in this country.

Try watching a movie called 'Food,Inc' and other means at your disposal to educate yourself rather than pointing your finger at immigrants.

Maggie, just something to keep in mind. The Amish are not big on refrigeration, and how long does it take for them to transport those chickens to your local market? I would want to know from the market how is this accomplished. You might want to ask more questions. Just sayin'.

I once checked out an Amish butcher to process one of our calves. The facility was very dirty. No thanks.

Here's an idea RLR, let them grow their own, feed themselves!

Frogs eat corned beef?

It was of course dog food (I take that back my dog wouldn't eat it) never meant for human consumption. Hey, hey, hey!
