Audit pins questionable recall effectiveness for meat safety
The USDA inspector general cites poor record keeping and a careless approach by FSIS staff in tracking a 2002 recall of 27.4 million pounds from Wampler Foods. Missing data in 389 of 582 records raise concerns that retrieved product and outbreak-linked status may be inaccurately assessed. Agency says repairs are underway and recalls now use stronger verification and clearer authority.
