Feds revoke California slaughterhouse's 2004 award after beef recallCHINO, Calif. (AP)--The U.S. Department of Agriculture has revoked a "supplier of the year award" given to a Southern California slaughterhouse after inhumane treatment of cows prompted the largest beef recall in history. A USDA spokeswoman says the government is also asking Chino-based Hallmark/Westland Meat Co., for its plaque back. The plant, which supplied one-fifth of the beef used in the federal school lunch program, won the award in the 2004-2005 school year. Hallmark owner Steve Mendell has not returned repeated calls for comment. 3/17/08 Date: 3/11/08
