Delicious pre-weekend news: Valley Meat Co. has recalled one million pounds of ground beef due to suspicions that it was contaminated with E. Coli bacteria. ONE MILLION POUNDS. NPR does the math and figures that's about 2,300 animals. For perspective, it's also equivalent to five million Big Macs, four million Whoppers, or almost nine million Wendy's Junior Cheeseburgers. "The suspect meat was sold in California, Texas, Oregon, Arizona and overseas. Most of it was frozen." [NPR via Eater National]
