After the ecoli outbreak, the us. D tried to do something similar with samonella. If they found it, then you had to pull it from market. That power didn't last very lon because a beef company that was failing to meet these samonella standards repeatedly sued the federal government. And in the end, that beef company prevailed. The presence of samonel in meat products does not render them injurious to health. Semine infected meat is thus legal to sell to the consumer.
