As soon as the tech that allowed it to be discovered was in common use it was discovered. Never look at a frozen lasagne the same way again that's for sure! (For some reason the vast majority of the affected products in the UK and Europe were frozen lasagne).I imagine in the US, USDA-certified beef avoids this particular issue (or did, before... recent changes), because the way they grade the beef they'd physically see it wasn't a cow carcass, but an unknown proportion of beef sold in the US is not USDA-certified. I can't even find good estimates as to the proportion. Also US beef is so messed-up on hormones and antibiotics it's not even legal to sell in Europe, so there's that.</blockquote>
