#News(IoTStack) [ via IoTForIndiaGroup ]
the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced that Arizona-based meat producer JBS Tolleson was recalling approximately 6.5 million pounds of “various raw, non-intact beef products” due to an outbreak of salmonella. The service found that JBS beef was the source of 57 cases of salmonella illness throughout 16 states between Aug. 5 and Sept. 6 of this year (see 6.5 Million Pounds of Beef Recalled Due to Salmonella Outbreak).
The reason so much beef had to be recalled, I believe, is that there would be no way to determine which products had been contaminated if the company conducted a more limited recall effort, and thus no way to be sure that all possible contaminated beef was removed from shelves. Of course, it might very well have been feasible to do that had a radio frequency identification tracking system been in place
