In brief: New beef suppliers for CV schools
Beef is back on the menu at Central Valley schools.
The district had removed beef items from school menus in January after being notified of possible contamination in meat processed by Westland Meat Co. and Hallmark Meat Packing Co.
The district now has three new suppliers of beef who have given written assurances that they do not use those two companies as sources of beef, according to district press release issued Thursday.
The district was forced to destroy 541 cases of tainted meat that was recalled.
