This could be one of the reasons the consumer wants traceback. They could see what was making the ill and would be able to buy another product.

If Aphis and the USDA can not keep you safe, you have to do it for yourself.
It is about like the immigration problem.

. However, a University of Arizona study found C. diff in different varieties of meat bought in Tucson grocery stores, the Republic said. The findings were confirmed by the national Centers for Disease Control.
If this is confirmed in packing plants then it will become worse then listeria. It must be passed on by workers as to get in so many packages.

Molecular typing of Clostridium difficile isolates from animals and humans may be useful for evaluation of the possibility for interspecies transmission. The objective of this study was to evaluate C. difficile isolates from domestic animals and humans using PCR ribotyping. Isolates were also tested using PCR for the presence of genes encoding toxins A and B. One hundred and thirty-three isolates of C. difficile from dogs (n = 92), horses (n = 21) and humans (n = 20), plus one each from a cat and a calf, were evaluated. Overall, 23 ribotypes were identified. Of these, nine were identified from dogs, 12 from horses, seven from humans and one each from the cat and calf. In dogs, humans and horses, one or two different ribotypes predominated. Overall, 25 % of isolates from humans were indistinguishable from isolates from one or more animal species. Genes encoding C. difficile toxins A and B were detected in all human, equine and bovine isolates, and in 69 % of canine isolates. While different ribotypes appear to predominate in different mammalian species, several indistinguishable strains may be found in multiple species.
This suggests that there is a potential for interspecies transmission of C. difficile and epidemiological studies are warranted.

* I believe that this misery has the worst to come.With 5000 people dead in a short time it makes Avain Flu look like a cold an snotty nose.
