It was only five months ago when I posted a blog about the second largest beef recall in American history. Now I’m back to talk about tainted meat again. More specifically, I’m talking about the biggest beef recall of all time – over 143 million pounds of meat.

By now it’s well known that public schools across Western Pennsylvania – in Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Washington, and Westmoreland Counties – have confirmed their possession of this tainted beef. Some of this recalled meat has even made it onto the lunch trays of our children.

The recall was prompted by animal abuse of sick cows. Despite having full time inspectors on working on-site, the abuse wasn’t exposed until the Humane Society had an employee of the processing plant take a video of the cows being abused.

The government believes that a good portion of the 143 million pounds of recalled Westland/Hallmark Meat Company beef has already been consumed. Although the health risk of eating this meat has been labeled at “negligible,” that doesn’t mean it’s without risk. Stay safe and know about the beef you’re serving before you take a bite.
