USDA Targeting Additional Strains of E. coli in Raw Beef Trim

摘要

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) began instituting a zero-tolerance policy in June for 6 additional strains of E. coli that are responsible for human illness. On June 12, FSIS began routinely testing raw beef manufacturing trim, which is a major component of ground beef, for the 6 additional strains of E. coli. Trim found to be contaminated with these pathogens will not be allowed into commerce and will be subject to recall.
