Yes,You Guessed it, Yet Another, Meat Product Recall:Now its Frozen Uncooked Lean Ground Beef Due to Potential Health Concern.

Because shit is a common (unlisted, because our governments prefer to think of real BS as real beef/really Canadian) additive in all Canadian meat products; further investigation is probably indicated. After all it hasn't killed very many people, that is, people who have REPORTED IT, so far.
Do these products have a bold,"BEEFY" smell; does it make you stand out from the crowd ?
How's the flavour; is it distinctivly assertive enough?

National Product Recall: PC Thick and Juicy Burgers.

OTTAWA – Federal health officials have expanded a burger recall first announced last week due to possible E.coli O157:H7 contamination.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency recall initially involved Compliments brand Super 8 Beef Burgers sold in packages of six in Ontario and Atlantic Canada. 

The recall now includes the same brand of burger sold in Ontario in Sobeys, Sobeys Urban, Foodland, Freshco and Price Chopper stores. 

President`s Choice Beef Burgers in 4.54 kilogram packages in Loblaw’s banner stores and Webbers Bucket of Burgers sold in 1.02 kilogram packages, also sold nationally, are also being recalled. 

The CFIA said Toronto-based Belmont Meats Ltd. was voluntarily recalling the affected burgers and cautions that the recall may be expanded further. 

After the initial recall was announced, health officials in south-western Ontario said lab tests linked three cases of E. coli O157:H7 to the Compliments burgers. The Middlesex-London Health Unit said the three residents of London, Ont., were recovering. 

Food contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 may not look or smell spoiled but may cause serious and potentially life-threatening illnesses. 

Anyone showing signs or symptoms of E. coli O157:H7 infection, in particular stomach pain and severe or bloody diarrhoea, should contact their doctor.
