I get worried when I see a flurry of small recalls in the weeks following a major spotlight having been focussed on USDA/FSIS performance. I can't help wondering whether USDA is tackling a large number of easy targets in a PR push instead of concentrating their resources on ensuring that the "big guys" are doing a proper job. While even a single case of E. coli O157:H7 illness is too many, the main risk to the population is from the widely-distributed meat from the ConAgras and Cargills of the world.
