1. Bubba Burgers not mentioned

...yet. It's strange that it seems everytime there's an e coli-infected beef product list Bubba Burgers are on it. I see them in stores and snort b/c it's like anyone who'd buy them has GOT to realize they're playing colon roulette.

Awaiting list of products...

5. It's not on the USDA website as a recall either. But if you happen to

find your way to the "alert" page, it's there. Helpful.

4. The timing gives the public time to forget before those July 4th BBQs comes around.
