[Moderator's Note:
This last year there have been many incidences
of chopped beef recalls in the U.S. for the
worst strain of E. coli and sometimes for some
other types of food poisoning, so always check

and
http://www.fda. gov/opacom/ 7alerts.html
and news sources like

I think this is the most recent one:

other aspects such as a need for balanced nutrition,
mineral needs, etc. can be tackled by those who
