Cargill Mad Cow Recall Includes Organic Brands

advertisement

The agribusiness news is an endless saga of disease and drugs, but to see "Cargill Organic" is not what most organic shoppers are aiming for.

The J.F. O'Neill tongues were produced between July 1 and Oct. 8, and sold under the following brand names: J.F. O'Neill Packing Co., Whole Foods Natural, Whole Foods Organic, Premier Protein Partners, Montana Ranch Brand, Grassland Beef, Austin Meats, Morgan Ranch, Kobe Beef America, Imperial Wagyu Beef, Brand Advantage Wagyu, Brand Advantage Partners, Yamaya U.S.A. and A.D. Rosenblatt.

According to the FSIS, the J.F. O'Neill recall stemmed from a food safety assessment that the federal agency conducted at the company's processing establishment. The Cargill recall stemmed from FSIS inspection activities, the agency added.

More information about the Cargill recall is available at the FSIS website...

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

The Meatrix thirst for revenue puts cutting corners up with cutting jobs for boosting short term profits.

This is what happens when conventional food companies treat organic as just another market segment.

It ticks me off to see agribusiness organic with downward price pressure and slipshod practices, always striving to lower the bar. That's why you need to know and love your farmers!
