I am lacking time.

Here are the applicable recalls for meat and poultry. Click on the
dates to find out which retail stores have them.

Notice that most -- NOT all -- are now found before they get out to the
public which is a big improvement over recent years. That indicates
that the USDA and FDA are beginning to rebuild and improve after the
too extreme administrative cut-backs during 2001 - 2007 or so (when all
heck broke loose because the cutbacks were making it impossible to find
a large number of very serious risks by then so many made it to shelves
in those years). Now the problems finally are usually being caught
before the public is exposed. That's a major but quiet improvement
that helps us all and our critters, too, so which should make all
smile, knowing all are getting safer again. I don't know how much more
improvement is needed to get back to the very high level of safety
which existed in 2000 (not perfect, obviously, but still very good
back then). Again, to know which retail stores were/are involved for
the ones that made it to retail shelves click on the dates at:
