Slaughterhouse Snafu
In February 2008, the Department of Agriculture recalled 143 million pounds of beef after a California slaughterhouse was accused of improperly butchering downer cattle (those too sick or feeble to walk to slaughter). Most of the meat had already been consumed by the time the recall got out. It was the largest meat recall in history and included cattle that had been slaughtered up to two years prior, starting Feb. 1, 2006. Thirty-seven million pounds of the recalled beef had gone to the National School Lunch Program, much of which was identified and removed. Remarkably, no injuries or illnesses were ever reported.
大混乱的屠宰场
在2008年二月，农业部在接到对加利福尼亚州的一屠宰场不按规定而去屠宰跪倒不能起身的牛（这些牛多为有病或年迈而无法行走）召回1亿4千3百万磅牛肉。大部分牛肉在发出召回通知之前就已经被吃了。自从2006年2月1号开始，并屠宰了两年的牛导致了这历史上最大的生肉的召回事件。其中3千7百万磅牛肉已经卖给了国家学校午餐项目，不过其中的很大一部分已经被辨认出来并且处理了。值得注意的是，并无疾病报告。
