All processing plants, no matter what size are USDA inspected. We had a fulltime inspector.

As a side note, fully cooking hamburg kills any salmonella.
Funny, since I was young I’ve always had my beef cooked medium/rare more on the rare side. Steak, hamburger, roast beef, etc. I have never gotten ill after eating beef.
Either I’ve been really lucky or a lot of what they want you to believe is somewhat true.
I have gotten food poisoning from pickled eggs though.
As for the tubes of hamburger, both my wife and I took one look at them when they first came out and didn't like the way they looked. The meat inside almost looks watered down.
