2009 USA: E.Coli contaminated meat recycled
http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2009/11/e-coli-contaminated-meat-recycled/

"Common sense would suggest that this contaminated beef be sent
straight to the dumpster. Yet this is not always the case. Instead,
contaminated beef is *often sent back to the meat packing plant where
it is then cooked, prepared and packaged as pre-cooked hamburger that
is shipped out to grocery stores across the country*.

While this may seem counter-intuitive and perhaps downright unethical,
the current process of re-cooking and selling once-tainted meat is
completely legal.  In fact, it is a common practice in the food
industry. "
