The WSJ put it in perspective with these statistics:
In the U.K., tens of millions of people were exposed to contaminated beef and so far there have only been 143 human cases linked to cattle. By comparison it's estimated that 5,000 people in the U.S. die each year from other food-borne illness, including salmonella poisoning.
