Canadian Beef recalls
 

Anyone know that recall website to check if yours is safe or not.

I have a roll of lean beef from Walmart that has been in the freezer for about 2 months now, and am wary if I should eat it or not, though I didn't have a problem with the ones before, I'd rather check and be safe than sorry though especially as I do have a 3 yr old..

Just cook it properly all the way through and make sure it reaches at least 160f then you will kill any e coli that might be present. Just sensible food hygiene.

It's safe when properly cooked isn't it? Just don't serve it rare or medium

thank you kindly marclouis :)

Re: Canadian Beef recalls
 

Well you'd like to think so, except when it's already infected with E-coli

Re: Canadian Beef recalls
 

Okay, thanks, that is two of you who said this, so I will do that, will use myself as a guinea pig first, if I don't get a stomach ache fast then I will know it's aok to give it to my little man ;)

That makes sense. Any meat not handled or cooked properly will give you food poisoning. Good post

I was a bit annoyed - I had a ton of ground beef in the freezer - only some of it had to be recalled - and of course I didn't know which ones (as I separate and put into bags and freeze because I buy from Costco).

It's not worth messing with really - not with little ones in the house. I took all of it back...

And have since started labelling stuff! :)

When I heard about the recalls I didn't think much of it, a couple of days later I dug out some ground beef from the freezer and made spaghetti bolognese, didn't even check it.

It's a bit like the Edwina Curry and the egg thing.

IF you were going to make steak tartar, then I would advise against it but if your going to cook it all the way through then I can't see there being a problem imo. If your that worried dispose of it, if your concerned then do a pot roast or stew where it's going to get hot and stay hot for a long time and use a thermometer.

hear hear.

You won't get a stomach ache fast, it can take up to 10 days before you feel the effects!

Re: Canadian Beef recalls
 

Is that the finding on the recent food poisoning then?

When ever I had food poisoning rarely though the last time was last year, it was pretty fast.
