Tyson is not only the leading chicken processor but also the leading pork and beef processor. 40,000 lbs across 16 states.
Our suppliers/processors are turning into one giant big ag "has it all".
And we all know that the bigger a company gets, the more sloppier they get with quality control.

I drive past a big Tyson CAFO every day....5 huge buildings full of chickens that have never and will never see a ray of sunlight ever in their short lives.
And when something goes wrong at one of those mega packers, they send out LOTS and LOTS of contaminated food.
No thanks, Tyson is one to avoid. This is another reason to avoid chain junk fast food places. They get the garbage they sell from suppliers like Tyson. Where is that barf smiley when you need it?
Big corporate farms (with big lobbyists) create big problems (and bigger government).
Buy local......
That is one of the big benefits in living in the boonies and going to the butcher and buying locally raised meats. My next door neighbor raises beef for the butcher we shop at. No worries about Ecoli or contaminated eggs since we have our own chickens. Man it sucks living in the city, my family is blessed to be where we are at.

Well yeah, but; various strains of e-coli and many other bacteriological contaminants have been around for many years before mega-corp's were even thought of.
All of these little bugs have sickened and even killed many living and subsisting on only products from the family farm.
Poliomolitis is one of those diseases originating from just that type of environment.
Today as yesterday rigorous and very rigid inspection protocols are the key to both the quality of the goods being received at a plant and also the hygiene throughout the processing along with outgoing inspection.
You can get just as sick off the meat you buy from your local butcher if his practices fail in just one area. Is his meat he buys from "trusted John" the farmer, inspected by someone who knows what they're looking for? Did his beef stock drink from a water source that saw some run-off enter it through a ditch with pig poop in it just before he took the beast to be butchered?
A clandestine video was released in the U.S. showing Mexican workers dragging "downers" into a Texas meat processing plant with a winch while beef from Canada was rigidly banned. The same videos along with many others that surfaced showed cattle prods being used to get cattle with the "staggers" onto trucks to then be taken to processing plants for human consumption.
No secret the method of choice of reporting cattle with these problems in the U.S. was to get the thing to the back forty, shove a stick of dynamite up it's butt - - no remains - no reporting - no problem.

Yep I buy my local grown right from the slaughterhouse.

Even if the local farmer's animals drank out of ths septic tank that doesn't mean that bacteria gets into the muscle tissue that becomes the meat. It goes into and out of the digestive tract. The issue with e coli at the big meat packers comes from the way that the meat is handled. Really if you haven't seen Food Inc it is worth looking at. There is a segment on why processing meat in mega quantities is prone to the spread of e coli while someome taking a reasonable amount of care on a small scale is less likely to have such problems.
Although frankly it's the politics, the inhumane handling methods and the chemicals that bother me more than the risk of infection.
