WASHINGTON - Next time there's a meat recall, you may be able to find out if your local grocery store received any of the tainted meat.

Prodded by fallout from the nation's largest beef recall, the Agriculture Department was expected to finalize plans Friday to make retailers' names public during some meat recalls. That's something that now doesn't happen at all, except in California, which has its own law requiring such disclosure.

Consumer groups along with some lawmakers have been pushing for the change for years. But the final rule may not be as strong as they would like.

Facing opposition from industry to any disclosure, the Agriculture Department is expected to impose the requirement only in the case of so-called "Class I" recalls — those which are considered to pose the greatest health hazard.

Well--this is a start right? Undecided

It is a start at eliminating the failed outbreak recall system.

It will make it easier for people to know right away if they have any recalled food from the stores listed hopefully before its eaten.
