Congress to Subpoena Westland/Hallmark Meat C Execo.

WASHINGTON — House lawmakers are expected Wednesday to order the head of the company responsible for the largest beef recall in U.S. history to appear before Congress.

The subpoena, if approved, comes a little more than week after the Westland/Hallmark Meat Co. chief executive didn't show up to testify at a congressional hearing on food safety. Several food company executives were invited.

The House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight is scheduled to vote at 9:30 a.m. to subpoena Steve Mendell, the co-owner of the plant.
