Boar's Head...Now with a Virus?

Just when you thought deli meat couldn't get less appetizing, along comes Uncle Sam with an ingenious way to supposedly kill possible traces of bacteria in deli meat...the worst part is, "Consumers will not be aware which meat and poultry products have been treated with the spray, Mr. Andrew Zajac (of the Office of Food Additive Safety) said. The Department of Agriculture will regulate the actual use of the product."

Wait a minute...they're not going to tell us which ready-to-eat-meat and poultry products -- including the ever-popular, hot dogs, ham and turkey -- have been sprayed with this additive/virus? We're talking about a "cocktail that contains 6 different anti-bacterial viruses"...this ruling is the first approval of viruses as a food additive...is anyone else appalled by this? Now, who's the mad cow? This is killing me...
