Beef Recall Affects NASD

Nazareth is one of 196 PA schools that has received recalled products as a result of the National School Lunch Program (read the Press Announcement here).

According to the announcement:

On Feb. 17, Hallmark/Westland Meat Packaging Co. of Chino, Calif.,
voluntarily recalled 143 million pounds of raw and frozen beef products.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has deemed the recall a "Class Two"
recall, meaning it has only a remote probability of causing adverse health
consequences.

More than 190 Pennsylvania school districts have received the recalled
beef products through the National School Lunch program, which is
administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, and they have
been notified about the recall.

I believe the news reported the beef was from 2006, so it has already been eaten. The harm is done and it's over. I hope the NASD cuts ties with Hallmark Meat.
