The point of testing for coliforms is to test for potential fecal contamination, not necessarily that bad E. coli is present. There are other coliforms and fecal-related bacteria that can be harmful. High coliform counts are bad, even if the presence of “bad” E. coli is undetectable. I hope they shape up. Pretending to do the recount is bad.
You can also get contamination from other sources… as I said, tests are done on the meat before we even receive it, to that effect. But yes, I have told them I do not like this practice and will not participate in it. She said she didn’t want me doing anything I felt uncomfortable with.
