We trust that the food we buy at the grocery store is safe. We assume that if it is on the shelf, it has passed inspection. That trust was broken again this week. A massive recall has been issued for ground beef products that many of you likely have sitting in your freezer right now.
This isn’t a minor labeling error or a quality issue; this is a Class I recall, which means the USDA believes there is a reasonable probability that eating this food will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death. The culprit is *E. coli* O26, a nasty bacterium that can shut down your kidneys. We need to check your freezer, immediately.
