Oh Whoa is Beef

With all these beef recalls, and expanded recalls occurring within the last few weeks, our little family has decided to just not consume (or purchase) beef for a short little while.  This isn't such a difficult feat to accomplish since we eat beef approximately once a month anyway, but it is a little disappointing.  We've had to throw out our Costco-purchased ground beef due to the recall, and we've decided to no longer purchase beef at any grocery market for a little while.  With my sensitive stomach and reduced immune system, it's definitely better to play it safe when it comes to food poisoning.

In any case, here is a complete list of the recalled products, for anybody looking for more details:

And here is a list of recalled XL food products, listed by store/chain:

I advise you to check with CFIA every few days (if you are really concerned), since it seems there is a constant expansion of the recall as the investigation continues.


Hmmm, my list of "what not to eat" keeps growing as this pregnancy continues on...
