Before a mass poisoning can take further effect, I'm grateful that the USA and Canada have emergency operations in bad food cases organized and always ready to 'roll.'

NEW YORK
Ground beef recalled last week is linked to 16 cases of salmonella food poisoning in five states, say federal health officials.
No one has died, but half were hospitalized. Most of the illnesses have been in Michigan, but a few cases were scattered in ArizonaIllinoisIowa and Wisconsin.
RECOMMENDED: Six major food recalls
Seven people ate a raw ground beef dish called kibbeh (kib-BEH') last month at a suburban Detroit restaurant that wasn't identified. Health officials say consumers should not eat uncooked meat.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the cases have been linked to last week's recall of more than 1,000 pounds of ground beef from two Michigan businesses, Troy-based Gab Halal Foods and Sterling Heights-based Jouni Meats.
