Meat recall expands because of illnesses

A Vernon meatpacker expanded its voluntary recall of ground beef that might be contaminated with a deadly strain of E. coli bacteria after several people were reported ill in California and other Western states.

United Food Group said Wednesday that the voluntary recall now applies to an additional 370,000 pounds of ground beef sold in tubes under several brand names, including Moran’s All Natural, Miller Meat Co., Stater Bros., Inter-American Products, and Basha’s.

The company, which originally recalled 75,000 of ground beef this weekend, said in a statement that it expanded the recall “based on concerns raised by the California Department of Health Services.”

Health officials said they have received reports of three illnesses in the state but no deaths. The state agency said that leftover ground beef found in the homes of two ill consumers in California and Colorado was found to contain E. coli O157:H7, which can cause bloody diarrhea and dehydration, officials said.

“The very young, seniors and persons with compromised immune systems are the most susceptible to food-borne illnesses,” the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in a statement.

The recalled ground beef, which was sold in 1, 3, 5 and 10-pound tubes, was produced at United Food’s Vernon plant April 13.

The labels of the tube of meat being recalled contain the code “EST. 1241″ inside the USDA mark of inspection or printed on the package. All of the products bear a sell by date of “Apr/29/07″ or “Apr/30/07,” a freeze by date of “Apr/28/07″ or “Apr/30/07″ or a produced-on date of “April 13-07,” the company said.

The meat was available in 11 Western states and was sold through Albertsons, Basha’s, Grocery Outlet, Fry’s, “R” Ranch Markets, Sam’s Club, Save-A-Lot, Save-Mart, Scolari’s Wholesale Markets, Smart & Final, Smith’s, Stater Bros. and Superior Warehouse.

United Food said that the recalled beef should either be thrown away or returned to the store for a refund.

I was giving my dog Ol’roy dog teats and did not know that hey have been recalled till it was too late. My dog got sick last monday and i had her in the vet’s office at 10 the next morning i ask the vet if any of her treats or the food i was giving her were on the recall list .He assured me it was not her food !! He told me that he needed to do a x-ray fo her stomach to check to see if she had gotten into anything .(mind you my dog NEVER chewed anything) so i said ok lets do it maybe there is other reasons why she is throwing up everything she eats.. go for it !!
Well 2 x-rays and 300.00 dollars later .. he had a answer :MRS. YOUR DOG IS CONSTIPATED AND YOU NEED TO WALK HER MORE !! OMG !!

I lost my best friend on Friday. She ate a steady diet of delmonte cat food - which is still not on the list- plus I “Treated” her with Pounce since she was a kitten. She was fine one moment - then gone!!!! I was so happy when the “Lists” came out and none of the food I gave my animals were on them. I now feed them a natural diet only!!!!

PS: I am feeding Jasper Flint River Ranch brand Lamb meal kibble along with Nutro brand Natural Choice Lamb, Duck, amd pasta flavor. I know Natural choice is on the recall list, but the flavor of Lamb, Duck, & Pasta has no gluten. But if you don’t want to take chances, the best food in the world is NRG brand dehydrated mix. Although it is pretty hard to find, my dog absolutely LOVES it and would dig into his bowl, licking it clean. Hope I helped, Amber!

I recently learned this morning that my dog has been eating Ol’Roy beef sticks. He has not been acting funny, but I threw them away. I am so relieved because I feed them in small, ranged portions. I feel that if he had eaten any more, he would have gotton sick. It pained him to see them throw in the trash because that is what he looks forward to in life (ha). I will no longer buy any Walmart brands. I’m just happy he loves other treats. One suggestion for your dog if thier favorite treat has wheat gluten is Dad’s Treats brand Nut-Tastics which are soft, chewy, and peanut butter flavored with no gluten. Jasper loves them!

I just want to know what the hell to feed my animals! Nothing with gluton? Soy, wheat, corn….ahhh! It’s to the point that I’m scared of ALL pet foods. I have three cats and a dog, and they are my babies-I’m sure you can all sympathize with that! My oldest, a cat, is 18 this month. I’ve had him since I was in the third grade. I’ve been calling his vet pretty much everyday to make sure that his Science Diet is okay. I know that I’m driving the poor man insane, but I really can’t help it. As for my other animals, the cats get Cat Chow and Buddy gets Ol’Roy-wet and dry. I, of course, have stopped feeding him the wet, but now am thinking that I should go get something other than Ol’Roy dry as well. To make matters worse, his damn Ol’Roy treats are recalled now as well! What about his Beggin Strips-can he still have those? The recalls keep changing so fast. What the hell is wrong with pet food manufacturers? I could kick myself in the ass, also, because I eat all kinds of Del Monte foods. I should say that I DID eat their foods, but never again. Wal Mart can kiss my ass as well. Unfortunately, being that I live in an extremely rural area, Wal Mart is the main source for shopping around here. There is one small, family owned grocery store, but other than that I have to drive at least like 35 minutes, but I think it’s worth it.

So, someone tell me, please, your recommendations on cat and dog food-I’d really like to know what truely concerned pet owners are feeding their animals. Thanks!

Will start making my own food immediately….Yes we should all buy products made in USA…..AMERICA HAS SOLD OUT AND ONLY WE THE PEOPLE CAN STAND UP AND MAKE A CHANGE…WILL WE?? OR DO WE ALL THINK WE ARE ONLY ONE PERSON WHAT CAN WE DO??
