Subject: RE: BS: NY Times - unsafe ground beef - pls READ
I found several pot roasts on sale here today so stocked up. I would have anyway, for pot roast during the fall and winter, but I'll test grinding one as well. Richard, there are a lot of things we make with ground beef like tacos that I have seen made with roast and shredded beef, but other things like sauces and casseroles it isn't that great an approach.

A couple of years ago there was a recall of spinach because of an E. coli contamination from a nearby water treatment plant or something along those lines. Wash it before you use it.

I agree, if you can get your meat from a butcher and know where it came from and how they prepared it, you have a better situation. I suppose I could do some research and drive out into the countryside and see if there is a butcher who will sells locally grown and processed beef.
