Christ, could we just go back to the local butchers we used to have before multinational corporations took them all over and shut them down. We wouldn't have this problem. Ranchers I know have to send their cattle three or four states away rather than being able to process them locally/regionally.
@FireMonkey All of those brands are on the recall list.
@VelvetDuchess
Because they were all processed in one plant with cows from many different states/places, probably only one batch of which was infected. But now all the product from the plant are affected or potentially.
@VelvetDuchess
Ah, yes that's right. Nonetheless, the point remains the same - rather than many smaller facilities, processing has been gathered up into a few large facilities and it's much easier to spread a contaminated source out widely.
@VelvetDuchess @FireMonkey A good time to consider trying a vegan/vegetarian week.
@elbutterfield @FireMonkey Ye I’m mostly except for Costco and Publix chicken which I’m avoiding right now.
@FireMonkey I’m eating things like Naan, hummus, rice with quinoa, chia etc. beans, eggs products from Costco like the frozen sous vide because they pre date this mess.
@FireMonkey DO NOT EAT ANY READY TO EAT CHICKEN PRODUCTS https://abcnews.go.com/food/story/listeria-recall-expands-12-million-pounds-meat-hits/?id=114868895
