What are the standards, if any, for slaughterhouses and the spread of Ecoli? are they doing radiation?

Question

Unregulated as agribusiness and meat-packign is, How dirty and disgusting can it get before anything changes< or will it ever?

Answer 1

Wake up and smell the coffee. Go to the USDA-FSIS web site and look at the regulations. I don't know of another industry more regulated than the Meat and Poultry industries. The inspectors at a slaughter plant are under the direction of a USDA vet, he has an entire staff of inspectors at each plant. Nothing leaves the plant without their approval. Name one other industry that has that kind of regulation.

It is clear you've never actually been in one of these plants. I've been in several and I'd rather eat food from one of those plants than what I could prepare in my house. I'd be willing to bet that if the USDA inspector went into your kitchen right now they'd find more sanitary problems than are found in the typical food plant. Do you wear a hairnet and rubber gloves while preparing foods in your kitchen. Do you sanitize all surfaces with at least 140 degree water and antibacterial cleaners. Do you make sure no fully cooked and raw products are stored in a common area, like say your refrigerator. You can't possibly have a clue.

Yet will all these inspectors and government regulations we get a bunch of people sick from raw spinach. What does spinach have to do with meat and poultry. The fact is and you'll have to get used to this we don't live in an anticeptic world. And more people get posioned from raw vegetables and all meat and poultry combined. Including outbreaks of typhus, and hepatitis.
