Agricultural giant Cargill Inc. said on Saturday it is recalling over 1 million pounds of ground beef distributed in the United States because of possible E. Coli contamination.
The recalled products have use/freeze-by dates of Oct 19 through Nov 3. Most will have the USDA establishment number of EST 9400 inside the USDA mark of inspection.
We've participated in a couple cycles of orders and deliveries now. Picking up in Jenks is a bit of a drive from Okmulgee. However, we usually find we can schedule our pickups concurrently with trips we already need to make to nearby Tulsa.
Favorite Items from the Oklahoma Food Coop
My favorite Oklahoma Food Cooperative items are often the baked goods. Supermarket cookies simply cannot compare to Gypsy C.O.W. (Chocolate, Oatmeal Walnut) Cookies from The Prairie Gypsies. I simply love the Chocolate Chip Pecan Flapjack Granola from Earth Elements Farm. Despite my sweet tooth, I wish there were more salad green available like the excellent Romaine Lettuce we bought Sunrise Acres.
We didn't save any cents per pound through buying our ground beef from Kastl Farms, but we found their Oklahoma hamburger to be leaner and richer in flavor than what we were used to and we were quite pleased to NOT be participating in the Cargill meat recall described above. The Made-in-Oklahoma Beef Italian Sausages we got from Natural Farms is one of the most exciting products to hit our diet in quite sometime. We are using them in loads of entrees, they are a nice change of pace from pork sausages. Soon we plan to try the Buffalo Burger Patties from the Wichita Buffalo Company. How's that for Oklahoma eating?
