USDA recalls 143 million pounds of beef

The title of my article is USDA recalls 143 million pounds of beef

This article is about an undercover video which shows animal-abuse. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recalled 143 million pound of beef. The cattle were very weak but the employees abused of them. The company responsible of these beef is West-land/Hallmark Meat Co. Some officials say that obviously much of these beef has been eaten. A considerable amount of these beef were sent for school children's lunches. There are not consequences yet but the Federal regulations believe this cattle may have a higher risk of contamination.

This article is very interesting because it is related with food that we eat day by day. The federal regulation need to be more careful when they check the quality of food. This company should be punish by the government. They should not have sold these beef because they may have some diseases. The school children's lunches should be against with this company. Also they should be more careful about what kind of meat do they buy for the children. We do not know the consequences yet but we will see these in the future. It is possible that the company sold these beef because of economic problems but they did not care about the consequences of it.
