This is good. I've worked for a poultry processor and they do try to slide by regulation any way they can. The USDA is in their plants and watching them but, can't see everything. Holding them to a more rigid standard will cut down on the gray areas they use to make sure they get their quotas. Another problem in that plant was the number of illegal aliens working there. Some of those people could not read, write, or speak english. And the labor unions was very happy to sign them up too, thank you very much! Long as they had a social security number which didn't seem to matter how many people in the plant had the same social security number... Yes! They need to be watched very closely and held accountable...
Well there you have it, from now on I refuse to eat my chickens "RAW", I will be cooking them from now on !hahaahahahahahahaha
