I don't get it... does eating cancerous meat give you cancer? If not then I don't really see the problem. Sure its kind of gross that you could get beef that has a tumor in it or something, and I agree with the investigation and shutting down the plant. The recall I can also see since it is a little gross, but what health impact does this have on humans who consume the beef?
Plus, if you're buying hot pockets and other processed garbage, I doubt you're worried about your health all that much anyway.

The USDA had not received any reports of illness because of the recalled Rancho meat as of a statement issued in February. But the agency called it a "Class I recall," meaning it is a "health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death."

The wide range of products subject to recall included 30-pound boxes of beef lips, mountain oysters and sweetbreads, as well as 40-pound boxes of veal bones and 60-pound boxes of veal trim.
