Lancaster Farming. Saturday. April 30,1977
Avoid eating
undercooked
ground beef
HARRISBURG, Pa. -
Agriculture Secretary Kent
Shelhamer recently advised
Pennsylvania consumers to
avoid eating undercooked or
raw ground beef in light of a
rising incidence of
trichinosis in Pennsylvania
and other states. Fourteen
cases of the disease, usually
related to pork or meat from
wild animals such as the
black bear, were reported in
1976, an increase of 100 per
cent over 1974.
According to Shelhamer,
the major problem in
Pennsylvania concerns pork
residuals found in ground
beef, residuals of which the
consumer is not aware. He
said the small quantities of
pork could come from
inadequately cleaned meat
grinders in retail outlets.
We have notified all food
stores and related
associations as well as the
main offices of large and
small chain stores to" have
their meat managers pay
strict attention to cleaning
and washing grinding
machines when pork has
been used prior to the
grinding of beef,”
Shelhamer said, pointing out
that the state Department of
health has indicated interest
in the overall situation. He
noted that the Center for
Disease Control in Atlanta
reported 284 cases of
trichinosis nationally, in
cluding one fatality in 1975.
The figure was nearly 2.5
time higher than the mean
number of cases reported
during the previous five
years by the health agency.
Shelhamer said that the
laboratory of his Depart
ment’s Bureau of Foods and
Chemistry has initiated a
testing program which can
now detect the equivalent of
half a thumbful of pork in a
pound of ground beef. He
said the sampling program
would be ongoing to “assure
consumers of purchasing
pure ground beef and
thereby avoiding exposure to
trichinchosis.’’
Shelhamer made it clear
that the individual odds
against contracting the
disease were high but also
said his department’s
samplings were showing a
higher incidence of pork
residuals in ground beef than
were CDC’s regional sam
plings.
The Agriculture Secretary
said that there was no reason
why consumers should cut
back on ground beef as a
“staple of the household
diet.” He observed that
housewives knew how to
cook, pork and that the
current problem deals with
pork where it is not an
ticipated nor recognized. He
said that the best way to
assure safety is to cook
ground beef at a minimum
internal temperature of 160
degrees Fahrenheit.
The CDC 1975 total of 284
cases represents the highest
incidence of trichinosis in the
U.S. since 1961.
ABS bulls
earn GM
rating
MADISON, Wis. - Two
bulls owned by American
Breeders Service,
headquartered here, have
been designated Gold Medal
Sires by the Holstein-
Fresian Association of
America. They are Tri-Town
Wis Apollo, and Arlinda
Fond Master.
‘‘Wis Apollo” and “Fond
Master” permanently join
the Gold Medal sire ranks
after being both “Production

Registered Holstein Sire

Volume 1,1977. The Holstein
Association, in cooperation
with the USDA, calculates
and prints sire performance
information three times a
year.
“Wis Apollo” a son of
Hilltop Apollo Ivanhoe,
VG(B9) GM, qualifies for
Gold Medal with a predicted
difference for milk (PDM) of
plus 720 pounds and a
predicted difference for type
(PDT) of plus 0.91.
This was the highest type
rating of all the bulls that
received their Gold Medal*
rating in the Registered
Holstein Sire Performance
Summary Volume 1, 1977.
Wis Apollo was bred in
Lancaster County, by J.Z.
Noltof Leola.
"Fond Master", a son of
No-Na-Me Fond Matt EX
(91) GM, receives his Gold
