Salmonella is a human pathogen that can be found in the intestines of cattle and many other animals. In 2009-2010, Salmonella was behind twenty-one multistate disease outbreaks. Yet, as far as USDA is concerned, Salmonella is NOT an adulterant in raw beef.
We requests that the USDA be forced to recognize Salmonalla as an adulterant, exactly as it does E.coli. The American consumer deserves protection far more than does the beef industry.
