my question also. evidently came from their meat sources. I am sure that this firm, and no firm, analyzes their raw material for every potential cross contaminant out there. however if as speculated the critters harvested are put down by doses of pentobarb one would think testing would be in order.

Except the government recall website states all beef the company uses is FDA approved. SO if true it was in the human supply chain and went unnoticed or it is something else.
Also notice it was a VOLUNTARY recall not an ordered recall

My thought exactly... I hope there is a federal criminal investigation. Thats a controlled substance.

Made the mistake of googling this, the answer is very sad and disgusting.
