Raw beef recalled, deemed 'unfit for human consumption'

'Unfit for human consumption' raw beef has been recalled in California and Oregon.

Nearly 25,000 pounds of beef were recalled last week after food inspectors deemed it “unfit for human consumption.” The raw beef items, which were produced and packaged on Aug. 21 by American Beef Packers, Inc. in California, were in the process of being inspected by USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) when a carcass sample was erroneously released prior to test results being received.
