The CDE (California Department of Education) sent a press release out about how districts should destroy ground beef from Hallmark/Westland. The release also includes a preliminary list of which districts received the meat and the number of units. Only three local districts were included in the list.
Los Angeles | La Canada Unified | 35 |
Los Angeles | Little Lake City Elementary | 60 |
Los Angeles | Los Nietos | 50 |
The highlights:
- A person of authority (i.e. food service director) must witness the destruction
- Some costs can be reimbursed, such as transportation to the disposal facility and destruction costs
- Other costs cannot be reimbused: employee overtime, long-distance phone calls, food used in place of recalled beef
