Dept Considers Limiting Disclosure of Retailers Who Sold Tainted Meat http://fishwrap.wordpress.com/2008/03/27/ag-dept-considers-limiting-disclosure-of-retailers-who-sold-tainted-meat/ A Walleyed Look at the News of Morrison County, Minnesota Tue, 14 Apr 2009 20:16:05 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Lisa Keefe http://fishwrap.wordpress.com/2008/03/27/ag-dept-considers-limiting-disclosure-of-retailers-who-sold-tainted-meat/#comment-948 Lisa Keefe Thu, 27 Mar 2008 18:59:52 +0000 http://fishwrap.wordpress.com/?p=319#comment-948 Olive: You'll want to keep in mind that the proposed change to meat recalls is a proposed change to a PROPOSED rule; it's not a change that would be made to a rule that's actually in effect now. I don't think the AP story is clear on that point, esp in the first couple of graphs. The proposed rule for which this change is ... um, proposed, WOULD provide consumers with more information --- sometimes even a lot more information --- in case of a recall. This new proposed change would ratchet back that increase in some cases, but it would still be an increase. Which still may not be enough to satisfy a particular consumer; I just wanted to clarify a couple of things. Thanks, Lisa M. Keefe Editor, Meatingplace in print Chicago Olive:
