The most tragic part of this whole recall is the failure, once again, of our government.
Why we even have the USDA is beyond me. This has been going on for two years and the USDA was not aware of it? Yet some activists, not even related to the meat packing industry, were?
USDA in this case is charged with meat packing inspection. Any idiot can see that the USDA clearly failed. While the packing plant in question is surely to blame, our government and the USDA are equally if not more to blame.
A packing plant is in business to make money, the USDA is there to ensure a safe product.
From this recall it should be clear that the USDA has absolutely no clue at all with regards to the inner workings of the meat packing industry. This recall is due to the actions of some activists who without pay, found these violations and brought it to public light. If random people off the street can find these violations why cannot the USDA?
Just think about how many more plants operate in the same manner!!! Right in front of the blind USDA.
Think we will hear of anyone being fired or investigated at the USDA????
Even more sickening this plant was packing meat for USDA programs to the schools and needy. Could it be even more ironic?
Dear Congress; stop calling in baseball players to testify and how about the USDA??
