BROCKTON —

Samples from each batch of meat processed through South Shore Meats are now being tested daily before being shipped out — and none has turned up E. coli bacteria, the company’s owner said.

“Everything is testing clean,” Carl Crocetti, the owner, said Monday.

The testing comes after South Shore Meats announced a voluntary recall of beef and beef products last week after more than 20 Rhode Island students and chaperones were sickened at a popular Plymouth camp. A match between leftover hamburger meat at Camp Bournedale and the Brockton plant prompted the recall.

Crocetti said the problem stemmed from the source of the meat — not his plant — and how the meat was cooked. He said earlier that he buys meat from 12 to 14 suppliers from around the country.

safe and effective.

the only reason we don't do it is because people are afraid of the term "irradiate."

it's stupid. no one should have to get food poisoning.
