I have been trying to find good references that explain exactly how meat
contaminated with E. coli is disposed of. In the U.S. I gather some meat is
recycled in canned chili and other products in which the meat is first cooked
at very high temperatures to kill the bacteria.
We recently have had a big recall at XL foods. I have tried to find out what
happens to the beef. I heard a short report on the CBC saying that most of the
beef goes to the landfill but some is recycled. In past U.S. cases some has
been recycled. It would seem quite safe to recycle the meat and if people are
too queasy about it , pet food makers could make good use of it. It just seems
ridiculous to me to dump food that is perfectly safe to eat when properly
cooked should be wasted.
Cheers, ken
