Our forms only have 1 slot for E. Coli. You might be correct, as all I inform our employees to do is collect meat samples and swab our meat contact surfaces.
the bad ones are often called STEC, for shiga-toxin producing e. coli.
No. That's not what this is about at all. Those "tripe" (never heard of the term) portions of the animal are still safe for consumption. The kicker in the "pink slime" scandal is that the meat has to be treated with ammonia to be made edible. That's more than likely because the meat is contaminated.

Never heard of tripe? Guess you don't know how they make Scottish copper wire either....Two Scots find a penny at the same time :-)
I really don't know why people who aren't outraged are even putting so much energy into defending the company. Do you people know that a top USDA exec went to go work for the main company producing the slime shortly after resigning?
It's corrupt no matter how you slice it. If you want to eat garbage come by our barrels full of undesireables. We've got tons of "meat scraps" in our trash barrels we could make a profit off of. We even have to pay a company to come dispose of it.
That isn't old school. You are talking about sick cows from industrial slaughter houses fed something they were not adapted to digest in CAFOs with a large population of genetic clones which keeps stacking the deck away from sanitary conditions. That is why it must be sterilized.

used to be we gave it( all food waste from the resturant) to the pig farmers....but alas that was years ago
You can't just change conditions. Anyone hear of the Pawpaw? That was slated to become a commercial food about the same time as blue berries and pecans as the more recent mass food items. Two out of three made it. It never made it because it has no shelf life. Thus to the industrial food supply, its nothing but rotten fruit. Most of you people have no idea what you are not eating because of this. Many , many delicious foods cannot ship well including a 100 variates of strawberries. Our strawberries are made to ship.
The reason why scraps are junk in the industrial food supply is that they are exposed in terms of surface area to the environment much longer and have a much shorter shelf life. In a small scale operations, locally its still basically food like the Pawpaw. However at this scale and distance, its rotting. So they disinfect it to make it "food".
No I didn't. You think those cattle have much in the way of genetic variability? Don't take all things literally, son. Why do you think they are terrified of one getting sick? Because it will rip though all of them.
