Federal officials said they turned up a dangerous form of salmonella at a Cargill Inc. turkey plant last year, and then four times this year at stores selling the Cargill turkey, but didn't move for a recall until an outbreak killed one person and sickened 77 others.
Cargill and the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the recall of ground turkey from the Cargill plant in Springdale, Ark., on Aug. 3. The USDA said the third-largest meat recall in history affected 36 million pounds of ground turkey.
Food-safety specialists said the delay reflected a gap in federal rules that don't treat ... (Murdoch paywall).

1000s being sick as dogs isn't enough for USDA is to ask-pretty-please for a recall (USDA has no power to mandate recalls), It's Takes A Few Deaths. USDA never wants to do anything, like protect Human-Americans' health or regulate derivatives, if it reduced BigFarma (or BigMoney) profits.
Profits are infinite more important than Human-Americans.

Yet another example of how BigFarma has captured and compromised USDA regulators:
Food safety false flag? USDA waited for people to die before recalling ground turkey it knew was contaminated
Astonishingly, current USDA regulations allow a meat production facility to pass inspection even if 49.9% of the meat is contaminated with salmonella. So even when the USDA is inspecting facilities, they can be downright filthy from a pathogenic point of view, with nearly half of all the meat contaminated, and the USDA still gives it a stamp of approval! It is in this way that the USDA, which is of course a complete prostitute of the meat industry, openly allows grossly contaminated meat to be sold to an unsuspecting public which thinks that meat is "USDA inspected."
Sure it is! But the inspection only means that slightly less than HALF the meat you buy can be contaminated with pathogenic bacteria.
Meanwhile, when it comes to raw farmers, federal officials conduct armed raids on places like Rawesome Foods (http://www.naturalnews.com/033220_R...) even when no one is harmed! Notice the outrageous double standard? When it comes to raw milk, the feds scream about how dangerous it is (even though no one has been harmed) and how deadly the raw milk bacteria are (even when they're friendly probiotics). But when it comes to raw meat, deadly pathogens are perfectly fine with the feds, and they even wait around for people to die from consuming it before bothering to issue a recall.

The Rawsome horror story and other militarized enforcement actions on non-BigFarma entrepreneurs are scary, if you are sentient enough to be scare-able.
