Beef Recall Expanded

A Petaluma CA company’s recall of nearly 9 million pounds of beef is now affecting more than 1,000 establishments in 29 states and Canada, according to The Press Democrat. Nestle is voluntarily recalling some of its Hot Pockets because they might contain affected meat from Rancho Feeding Corp. 
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has deemed products made from meat processed at Rancho Feeding Corp. in 2013 unfit for consumption because it processed diseased animals without a full federal inspection. So far, no illnesses have been reported.
