Cargill recalls 25,000 lbs of possibly contaminated beef, 8/25/18. (Reuters) - A Cargill Meat Solutions plant in Colorado is recalling more than 25,000 pounds (11,300 kg) of ground beef that could be contaminated with E. Coli, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said.
The meat carries an “EST. 86R” label inside the USDA mark of inspection and a use-by date of Sept. 5, the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said this week in a statement. It was shipped from Cargill’s facility in Fort Morgan, Colorado, to warehouses in California and Colorado, FSIS said.
E. Coli bacteria can cause dehydration, bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps, and in some rare cases it can develop into a life-threatening type of kidney failure.
FSIS said the problem was discovered
on Aug. 22 when the company inspected its records and found the beef might have
been associated with a product presumed positive for E. Coli.
The company then notified FSIS, the
inspection service said, adding in its statement that there have been no
confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to these products being eaten.

Colorado: Meatpacker agrees to pay Somalis $1.5 million in prayer break dispute, by Ann Corcoran, 9/15/18.
I
have no sympathy for giant globalist meatpackers because they brought this on
themselves when they actively sought out (with the help of
federal refugee contractors like Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service) Somali refugee workers.
However,
what we increasingly see is an accommodation of Islamic religious practices in
the workplace with this settlement and others like it. CAIR is very
happy!
Big Meat! Changing America, one meatpacking town at a time! Ft. Morgan has a mosque now.
From
the Greeley Tribune:
DENVER — A big U.S.
meatpacker has agreed to pay $1.5 million to 138 Somali-American Muslim workers
who were fired from their jobs at a Colorado plant after they were refused
prayer breaks, a federal anti-discrimination agency said Friday.
Cargill
Meat Solutions, a division of Minnesota-based agribusiness company Cargill
Corp., also agreed to
train managers and hourly workers in accommodating Muslim employees’ prayer
breaks at its Fort Morgan beef processing
plant, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said.
Wichita,
Kansas-based Cargill denies wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid further
litigation, the federal agency said. The dispute dates back to the firings of
the workers in late 2016 after management rescinded policies allowing Muslim
employees to take short breaks for prayer.
In
2017, the agency found that the workers had been harassed and discriminated
against for protesting the unannounced policy change that denied them
opportunities for obligatory prayer. Hundreds of Somali-Americans work at the plant in Fort Morgan, about 50
miles southeast of Greeley.
The
Teamsters union also agreed to pay them, an admission that they too were not
happy with the Somali workers and their religious demands.
In
a related announcement, a Teamsters union local that was supposed to represent
the workers will pay them $153,000 to settle discrimination complaints.
The
federal agency said it determined that Teamsters Local Union No. 455, based in
Denver and in Fort Morgan, failed to advocate for the Muslim workers in their
dispute with Cargill and even harassed them because of their race, religion and
national origin. The workers were dues-paying union members.
Union officials denied wrongdoing, but the local unit agreed to pay the
workers, undergo training in handling grievances, and publicize employee rights
to be free of discrimination based on race or national origin.
Like other U.S. firms that employ Muslim line workers at meatpacking
and processing plants, Cargill managers must balance religious accommodations
with demands of processing meat in an operation that frequently runs 24 hours. Managing possible disruptions not only
slow production but can create safety issues for line workers.
Here comes CAIR:
The Council on
American-Islamic Relations, a Muslim advocacy group, and Qusair Mohamedbhai, a
Denver attorney who represented the workers praised the settlement.
Much more here.

I visited that small city on my tour of midwestern and western towns and cities
disrupted by an influx of refugee workers. I spoke with residents who told me
that at one time Cargill paid very good wages, but then discovered the
‘benefits’ of immigrants and refugees who would work for less.
You
might want to search RRW for the word ‘meatpackers’ because I have dozens and
dozens of posts going back ten years about how BIG MEAT is changing America.
Here
is just one post you should see. It isn’t just
meatpackers, but others in the food industry, the hospitality industry and
other manufacturing companies that drive the US Refugee Admissions Program. This
post is filed in my category ‘Stealth jihad’ for
obvious reasons.
