Neither the well-publicized U.S. Federal beef recall, California’s statewide school ban, or the removal of beef from local school menus was specifically targeted at WG residents. But it was big news here and across the country.

In a less public announcement, SJUSD has announced that beef will be returning to lunchtime menus at elementary schools near you.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has sent school districts specific instructions on the disposal of beef products purchased from Westland Meat Co. We have done a thorough inventory of all of our meat products, and have identified and destroyed any beef that may have even a remote possibility of causing adverse health effects.

During the month of March, although not listed on the regular school lunch menu calendar, beef products will gradually be reintroduced to the school menus. This is beef product that has full clearance from the U.S.D.A. We want to assure you we will continue, as always, to place the health and safety of our students as our number one priority.

Carnivores … Rejoice! ;-)
