The World Health Organization has clarified the results of last week’s report which said the consumption of processed meats such as hot dogs, bacon and deli meats increases the risk of cancer—and eating red meat probably causes cancer as well.
Omaha, Nebraska-based All American Meats, Inc. has issued a recall for approximately 167,427 pounds of ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, according to USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
After the World Health Organization declared this week processed meats increase the risk of cancer, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has filed a petition with USDA to stop the distribution of hot dogs and other processed meats to children through the National School Lunch Program.
