E. Coli Path Shows Flaws in Beef Inspection
The New York Times looks into why E coli bacteria in a Cargill hamburger put a Minnesota woman into a coma for nine weeks and then crippled her.
Here is what they found a tainted hamburger to be made from:
mix of slaughterhouse trimmings and a mash-like product derived from scraps that were ground together at a plant in Wisconsin. The ingredients came from slaughterhouses in Nebraska, Texas and Uruguay, and from a South Dakota company that processes fatty trimmings and treats them with ammonia to kill bacteria.
