Minced chicken meat recalled for containing pieces of metal
A recent recall of chicken meat has been announced by the USDA. The meat in question is from Foster Farms, and is believed to contain pieces of metal. This is not the first time that Foster Farms has had to issue a recall; in 2013, the company recalled nearly 200,000 pounds of poultry due to contamination with salmonella.
The current recall affects over 36,000 pounds of chicken products that weresold in stores nationwide. The USDA has advised consumers who may have purchased this meat to discard it or return it to the store where it was purchased. So far, no reports of injury or illness have been linked to this recall.
This latest recall is just another example of the food safety hazards that can occur during the production process. Contaminated meat can cause serious health problems, including foodborne illness and even death. For this reason, it is important for consumers to be aware of recalls and take appropriate precautions.
If you have purchased chicken products from Foster Farms recently, be sure to check the USDA website for a list of recalled items. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854).
Investigation launched after minced chicken meat found to contain human remains
Traders and consumers have been left horrified after it emerged that minced chicken meat being sold in local supermarkets is being found to contain human remains. The Ministry of Health has launched an investigation into the matter, but as yet no answers have been provided as to where the human flesh is coming from.
One trader, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that they first noticed the issue when they were selling packs of chicken mince to a local supermarket. "The supermarket checkout staff member told me that there was something strange about the chicken mince - she could see what looked like human fingers inside the packs," said the trader. "I checked the packs and sure enough, there were fingers inside."
Since then, other traders have come forward with similar stories, and it has now been confirmed that minced chicken meat being sold in several local supermarkets contains human flesh. The supermarkets involved have all issued statements apologising to their customers and stating that they are working with the Ministry of Health to investigate the matter.
So far, there is no indication as to where the human flesh is coming from, or how it is ending up in packages of chicken mince. However, one theory that is being circulated is that rogue elements within the meat processing industry are adding human flesh to chicken mince in order to make extra profit. This would explain why the practice has only been noticed recently, as it is likely that only recently has enough human flesh been added to chicken mince to be detectable by supermarket staff.
This news has sent shockwaves through the community, with many people expressing concerns about what could be going into other processed meats products. It is yet another blow for the meat processing industry, which has been struggling in recent years due to declining sales and allegations of poor hygiene practices.
Shoppers warned against buying minced chicken meat after bacteria outbreak
Public health officials are warning shoppers against buying minced chicken meat after an outbreak of food poisoning caused by a strain of bacteria known as campylobacter.
At least 16 people have been hospitalized after eating the contaminated chicken, which was sold at several grocery stores in the area. Officials say they are still investigating the source of the outbreak, but they believe that the chicken was contaminated with the bacteria at either the slaughterhouse or packing plant.
Campylobacter is a common cause of food poisoning, and it can be very dangerous, especially to children and elderly people. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. In some cases, the bacteria can also cause fever and joint pain.
If you have bought minced chicken meat recently, do not eat it. Throw it away or take it back to the store where you bought it. Instead, cook fresh chicken breasts until they are well done.
Minced chicken meat found to contain high levels of arsenic
Processed meat, including chicken, is often found to contain high levels of arsenic. A study released in June of 2018 by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) found that all types of chicken meat sold in the U.S. - from factory-farmed conventional chicken to organic - contained arsenic.
The report states that: "Overall, we found that all chicken samples - conventional, antibiotic-free and organic - tested positive for arsenic. Each sample had at least one form of the toxin." The group blames the contamination on the use of arsenic-based drugs in chicken feed, which is intended to make them grow faster. The EWG also points out that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has known about this problem for years but has done nothing to address it.
Arsenic is a toxic chemical element that can be harmful to both humans and animals. Ingesting too much arsenic can cause health problems such as skin lesions, blackening of the extremities, stomach pain, diarrhea, vomiting, and even death. Studies have also linked arsenic exposure to cancer and other chronic diseases.
So what can you do to avoid eating arsenic? The EWG recommends buying organic chicken whenever possible. Certified organic chickens are not allowed to be fed additives like arsenic, so they will be less likely to contain traces of the toxin. If organic chicken is not available or affordable, choose antibiotic-free chicken instead. Conventional chickens are more likely to be contaminated with arsenic because they are typically raised on farms where the drug is used in feed supplements.
