So like , how many cows are we talking here?

The USDA has ordered the largest meat recall in history forcing a California abattoir to get back 143 million pounds of meat or its production for the past two years. The recall was ordered because Hallmark Meat Packing failed to keep diseased animals out of the food chain.

Now it would be my guess that most of this 70,000+ tons of mince has already gone done American gullets and as almost a quarter of the meat was destined for schools you can guess whose gullets it has gone down.

Yep. This self-regulation thing is a real winner, innit?
