I bet that when you heard about the recent recall of 143 million pounds of beef from Westland/Hallmark you didn't think you'd have to worry about sauces and bouillon cubes.
But that's what's happening. Although much of the frozen beef from the past two years has probably already been eaten or discarded, there might also be some of the meat in canned and packaged foods, including soup, sauces, and bouillon cubes. And some of those foods can sometimes stay on shelves and in the cupboards of consumers for a couple of years.
There have been no illnesses reported and no evidence of actual contamination, but officials don't want to take any chances.

Okay. This is not news. According to you "There have been NO ILLNESSES reported and NO EVIDENCE of actual contamination, but officials don't want to take any chances." These OFFICIAL folks just want to put someone out of business. Who wins? The competition. I hope this meat company sues the officials.
