Tracy food supplier recalls chicken, pork products

TRACY, CA. (AP) - A Northern California food supplier is recalling 64,000 pounds of chicken and pork products because some broccoli in the products was found to be contaminated with listeria.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Tuesday that Taylor Farms Pacific of Tracy is recalling several premade dishes after routine testing discovered the contamination.

The USDA said each item bears the establishment number "P-34013" or "EST. 34013" inside the department's mark of inspection.

The products were produced between Feb. 6, 2011, and Feb. 23, 2011, and shipped to Arizona, California, Colorado and Wyoming.

2. It wasn't that the chicken and pork were contaminated with vegetables.

It was that the vegetables were contaminated with listeria.

I expected better out of "the straight story"

7. I don't begrudge people the right to eat veggies

but I wish they'd keep it away from proper food. Meat is clean and wholesome and doesn't deserve to be contaminated by bacteria just because some people have the perverse need to kill and consume raw plant matter.
