Several Area Schools Affected by Beef Recall

The USDA has released all of the schools in the country that were affected by the Hallmark/Westland Beef Recall, which was the largest beef recall in US history. Several Northwest Missouri and Southwest Iowa schools were affected by the recall, including two neighboring schools. The schools in the area that were affected were, in Southwest Iowa, Bedford, Clarinda, Lamoni, New Market, and Mount Ayr. In Northwest Missouri, the schools affected were Mercer, Stanberry, Lawson, East Buchanan, and the St. Joseph Public School District.
The Worth County School District was not affected by the recall. The USDA has not released the stores that were affected by the recall; however, a spokesman for Hy-Vee’s corporate office told the Express that neither the local Grant City Hy-Vee nor the corporation was affected by the recall as they bought meat from an Iowa supplier. Hallmark/Westland was based in California.
