Democratic lawmakers on Thursday demanded the U.S. Agriculture Department release by next week a list of stores which received the 143 million lbs of beef recalled by a California company last month, but administration officials said that may not be possible.
USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Agency first proposed two years ago that retail establishments which received recalled products be identified publicly, to give consumers important information more quickly.
Stores can't be named din a recall? WTF? People can get sick and die but we can't name the stores that sold recalled meat because of confidentiality? Profits are more important than people's lives? Ah America, what a country.
