A spokesman for Lidl said that beef used in the suspect boxes had been bought from French supplier SEB-CERF, based in the northeastern town of Saint-Dizier, which produces some 400 tonnes per week of frozen beef, according to its website.
"The products were made in France, but depending on the expiry date and our suppliers' opportunities, the beef can come from Germany, Italy, France, the Netherlands or even other places," spokesman Jerome Gresland at Lidl told Reuters
The quote is from the link above in Rutsie's post. Great follow up job, BTW and great analysis.
400 tonnes per week of frozen beef, huh?
...the beef can come from Germany, Italy, France, the Netherlands or
even other places...
IMHO, there doesn't even need to be a conspiracy 'cause we are poisoning ourselves.
I cannot get my mind around a processing plant grinding up beef from so many countries in such quantity.
I don't care how sanitary you try to keep things - there is no way - no way I say - that this process is safe, sanitary, humane, etc., etc., etc.
Jest ain't happenin', in my opinion.
Again and again and again we come back to factory farming and the dangers it poses to us. Sadly, the dangers it poses to our children and grandchildren.
Basta! Enough!!!!
