The Associated Press reports that the United States Dept. of Agriculture has recalled 160,000 more pounds of beef produced by Nebraska Beef Ltd. This brings the Nebraska Beef meat recalled to 1.36 million pounds– all because the company’s production practices don’t effectively guard against E coli.

The Nebraska Beef has caused illnesses in 27 states. This story isn’t exactly "Russia invades Georgia" but it’s a little surprising it hasn’t gotten more play with public fear about E coli and suspicion about federal inspectors.-MB
