Whole Foods says recalled beef free of mad cow

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 15 Juni 2014 | 00.48

Whole Foods Market yesterday recalled a recall.

The Austin, Texas-based natural and organic grocery chain said possibly tainted beef products recalled Thursday by a Missouri company did not affect shipments to its stores.

"Following notification from our supplier ... Whole Foods Market immediately launched an in-depth investigation," Whole Foods spokeswoman Heather McCready said in a statement. "We now have official documentation confirming that the cattle in question destined for our stores were in fact not at risk for BSE, as they were all under 30 months of age."

The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Fruitland American Meat's recall of approximately 4,012 pounds of fresh beef products, including bone-in ribeye roasts, because they could contain parts of the nervous system that can carry properties related to bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or mad cow disease. Those parts are required to be removed from cattle 30 months of age and older as a precaution.

Fruitland had advised the USDA that the roasts had been distributed to a New York City restaurant and a Whole Foods distribution center in Connecticut that services New England stores, including 27 in Massachusetts.

"It is unfortunate the processor could not confirm accurate information at the time, but we fully support the issuance of the USDA …voluntary recall to quickly address the issue out of an abundance of caution," McCready said.

BSE is fatal to cows and can cause a fatal human brain disease in people who eat tainted beef, but the USDA said there was no indication the slaughtered cattle showed signs of BSE.
