While the Fed's massive liquidity injections have (at least temporarily) lifted the economy in some regions, Silicon Valley is trying to get by on Mad Cow bones. Beef Bones Linked to Mad Cow Recalled SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Health officials have announced a voluntary recall of beef bones from a batch of meat connected to the mad cow disease case in Washington. The recall involves bones sold at Maxim Market, a San Jose grocery store that allowed its name to be released, according to the Santa Clara County Department of Environmental Health. Officials said Sunday that customers could return any beef bone products they bought at Maxim on Dec. 12, 13 or 14. The products include bones for soup. "It's not that there is a huge public health risk," said Santa Clara County spokeswoman Gwendolyn Mitchell. "But we felt it was important to let the public know." Officials believe the bones came from a batch of cows that were slaughtered in Washington on the same day as the animal later diagnosed with mad cow disease. Federal officials have recalled about 10,000 pounds of beef from those animals, although they say the meat is probably safe. The disease is found in the cow's brain, spinal cord and lower part of the small intestine. Officials said bones from the same batch also went to six restaurants, but the officials said federal regulations prohibit them from releasing the names of the restaurants. newsday.com lurqer
