Beef recalled by US slaughterhouse over ‘mad cow’ disease concerns
The recalled beef from Jackson, Missouri-based Fruitland American Meat, was delivered to restaurants in New York City and Kansas City, as well as a Whole Foods distribution centre in Connecticut.
The US Department of Agriculture said no adverse events had been reported. The department’s Food Safety and Inspection Service discovered the problem during a review of the company’s slaughter logs. Reviewers found the firm may not have removed dorsal root ganglia tissue from cattle aged 30 months and older, in violation of federal regulations.
