In the past few weeks, there have been three recalls of cooked meat products after customers/consumers complained that the product appeared to be undercooked. The recalls were for firms located in OK, GA, and MO. It is interesting in that these companies must have not been able to demonstrate that the suspect products had been properly cooked, and thus, they felt the need to do a recall.
Of course if the meat had not been fully cooked, there is the potential for pathogens such as Salmonella.
