Washington Firm Recalls Beef on Mad Cow Concerns
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -
Verns Moses Lake Meats has voluntarily recalled 10,410 pounds of raw
beef because of concerns the products may contain meat tainted with
mad cow disease, the U.S. Agriculture Department said on Wednesday.
The USDA on Tuesday announced the first U.S. case of mad cow disease
was found in a dairy cow in Washington state.
The raw beef products from the Moses Lake, Washington-based company
"may have been exposed to tissues containing the infectious agent that
causes bovine spongiform encephalopathy," the USDA said.
The USDA considers the recalled beef, which was produced on Dec. 9 and
shipped to several processing plants, a low health risk.
