Source: Canadian Press

The public is being warned not to consume certain ground beef products which bear the establishment number 761 because they may be contaminated with E.coli bacteria.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says all ground beef products made between July 1, 2011 and Feb. 15, 2012 at the facility linked to the establishment number are included in the warning.

The agency's directory of registered meat establishments and licensed operators lists Saskatoon-based New Food Classics as the company linked to establishment number 761.

The company also does business under the names The FoodService Company, Over the Edge, GrillHouse, BBQ Perfect, Ground and Browned, Bento, Oven Perfect, Absolute Favourites, Micro Perfect, Canadian Gourmet, Pubpan, Mastercut, Super Club and Recipe Ready.

All fancy euphemisms for 'beef with cow poop.'

On edit: for the Francophones, 'boeuf à la merde.'

animal flesh that has been "sanitized", supposedly making it "safe", and then is reincorporated. I've read it is product that may have been dropped on the floor, etc.

I noted the article didn't say anything about Pink Slime. It's been in the news cycle quite a bit recently. Seems an editorial oversight to neither confirm or deny its existence in the listed products.
