Alexandria Simmons+FollowWhy That Burger Recall Was a Big DealEver wonder why your burger sometimes makes headlines? Back in 2008, the biggest beef recall in US history wasn’t about germs—it was about animal cruelty. Undercover footage showed sick cows being forced into the food supply, and that led to 143 million pounds of beef being pulled, even from school lunches. The fallout? The company tanked, and food safety rules got stricter. So next time you grab a burger, remember: what happens behind the scenes matters for your plate and your wallet. #Business #Industry #FoodSafety00Share

Use glass or stainless steel for food, and skip heating up plastic containers. Kinda makes you rethink takeout, right? #Health #BodyHealth #FoodSafety30Share

Maybe it’s time to check those food labels and swap out nonstick pans, too! #Business #Industry #FoodSafety10Share
