Beef products recalled over E. coli fears

Watch the documentary Food Inc. if you want to know why there is so much e coli in the food supply.

Local livestock, Range Fed / Range Finished is the ONLY way.

At the slaughter house when you WALK a cow in the front door and it comes out the back door in a box within 2 hours did the inspector really get to inspect properly.

And the Feds are Reducing the number of Inspectors in Canada as well.
Be prepared to see more CONTAMINATION news since Government has NO power over Corporations. Stiff Fines? Yeah, Right.

if you eat anything called a "steakette" you are taking chances anyway

This is why we need to support local meat/poultry producers and fight government intervention with all of their regulations and restrictions that support big companies and hurt the small mom-and-pop producers. Larger companies are only interest in profit and will cut any and all corners where they can to make the extra buck. Local farmers are in the business because it is something they believe in and they care about the product they produce - 'cause they sure are not getting rich off of their profits and it some years take a loss.

Want safe beef, pork etc. go buy it directly from a small farmer, who actually feeds them grains and hay, the feed lots put so much antibiotics and chemicals in the grain to stop the outbreak of diseases in the feedlot. Now did you ever wonder why we're all dying of cancer?

you know what is a big problem? The fact that all the small slaughter houses are shut down and we only have big national places left. Now if there is a problem it national right away, instead of being a local problem.Then it hits the news right away. It not worse now then it was 30 years ago, its the magnitude thats changed.If you are slaughtering 20 cattle a day or 2000 a day makes it a lot harder to pin point. Hench the big recalls

BUY LOCAL MAKE THESE AHOLE COMPANIES THAT SUPPLY FOOD WITH UNSATISFACTORY PROTOCOLS, DISHONEST LABELING, GET THE MESSAGE. GO TO YOUR LOCAL FARMERS MARKETS,GET YOUR MEAT FROM A LOCAL FARMER . YOUR BEST FOOD IS JUST OUTSIDE TOWN OR IN YOUR OWN GARDEN, YOU WILL SURPRISE YOURSELF AT HOW SELF SUFFICIENT YOU CAN BE

Hey Galen, what was that you said about farmer's markets? Haha.

Funny enough, just a couple weeks ago in the news, Galen Weston was quipping at how unsafe farmer markets are and how "one day they will kill someone" because according to him, they aren't sanitary like his big grocery stores and the wonderfully safe and clean products they sell. When's the last time anyone heard of a recall from a Farmer's Market? And every couple months, sometimes more frequent, there are recalls from these grocery stores.

Cows, by nature, eat grass and NOT corn. Being fed a high corn diet leads to much higher levels of E.Coli bacteria within the cattle. Ontario grocery stores proudly claim, with a round yellow and green sticker, that the meat in the package is 'Ontario Corn Fed Beef'. Choose wisely.

Check it out.

This is because of the condition of the slaughter houses! Go figure- we cannot use our own kitchens to sell food products for fear of contamination... but- the places where we get our food from are in worse conditions???

Another thing is- people need to start becoming aware of why this happens! Why are we getting an ecoli strain from FECES on our FOOD? Food INC anyone?????

Here's an easy fix; buy local.

E Coli ... another company with Shit procedures

visit your local butcher instead

CFIA must inspect the slaughterhouses thoroughly. How the animals get slaughter and their
proceses must be inspected.
My friend who used to work in a slaughterhouse in Langley said that the pigs defecated
when their throat is slit or when they are being stun by the electrical probes before they
are killed.

These defecation is the cause of the EColi contamination. Also most of the workers
there are very dirty so they also transmit their EColi and other diseases to the meat
when they cut up the pigs and package them.

CFIA must monitor the work proceses in the slaughter house, before more people
get killed.

Who eats No Name burgers? Talk about mystery meat. You know it's going to be all the intestines and body parts you can't put on this board. If people would stop buying crappy garbage like this they wouldn't make it anymore!!

why dont they name the stores they were sold to, that way we might know if we had bought it.
