USDA to List Stores in Meat Recalls

"People want to know if they need to be on the lookout for recalled meat and poultry from their local store," Agriculture Secretary Edward T. Schafer said. "By providing lists of retail outlets during recalls, USDA's Food Safety Inspection Service will improve public health protection."The announcement comes on the heels of two serious beef recalls that began in late June and were expanded over the Fourth of July weekend.
