When is meat not recalled in the US?

You guys should probably set up some sort of the government department to keep an eye on this.

    This is more you should know if your in Georgia. America isn't so tiny that this small of a recall is remotely fucking close to "if you are American".

    I got very worried for a second. But the post title is nothing but fear mongering and very misleading.

    Do people not realize how fucking MASSIVE America is?

    They don't. The old saying rings true: Americans think 100 years is old, and Europeans think 100 miles is far.

    Everybody only has their own perception and experience to really go off of, so I don't blame folks for this. It just is the way it is.

    This is bad advice, fellow Americans.

    Look up where the recalls and violations have happened. Also, look up the cuts of meat.

    Big numbers don't mean all of America. What a stupid suggestion.

    I think the best advice is to do both: check what meat if affected and whether that might include the meat you're looking at. If you're not sure, maybe skip meat for a change. You can do without.

    This is why I only eat meat I bought years ago.

    If you live in America right now you should probably not eat anything. Everything seems to be fucked.

    YSK Costco does independent testing of their meat.

    I don't want to like Costco, but they're making it really hard.

    I don't like being in there, I don't like shopping in a damn warehouse. I hate the parking lot clusterfuck experience.

    I do like that they curate a very good selection and they treat their employees well.

    Why can't they just run a normal-scale grocery store?!

    YSK California has the most stringent food safety regulations in the country, going above and beyond what the fed requires. Thank fuck I live here and not somewhere that does the bare minimum required of them (which, rn, is doing nothing at all).

    167,000 pounds sounds like .001% of what is currently for sale nationwide, or something.

    Thing is, many of these things grow over time, and - especially with the active gutting of regulatory and oversight bodies - there's a decent chance that the list isn't comprehensive.

    It's also one of the reasons why I have avoided US meat products and grabbed stuff with a maple leaf instead, because it wasn't hard to see this coming (and coming and coming)

    They faked a label. Executives need to go to prison.

    The internet says the US sells appoximately 200 million pounds of meat a day based on per capital numbers. This is a big number, but drop in the bucket.

    That said, they put a false inspection number on it and the recall happened because they got caught. My guess is mis labeling and not being inspected is probably more common than we know.

    I get my meat the way god intended, from the side of the interstate. Chicken of the pavement. Highway hamburger. Fauna ala Ford. Jeep jerky. The other black meat.

    Stop buying meat at all. Let the industry collapse. It’s probably the only way the US meat industry will adopt better standards

    Don't want to guit-trip anyone but being critical of what you eat is good for everyone. Eating less meat is good for the planet and your health, even if the meat is not contaminated. If you don't like CNN you can find very similar content from other sources by using a search engine of your choice.

    Yes, I'm cherry picking.

    Don't eat A&D meat.

    This is not because of deregulation, this is because Star Meat Delivery attempted to avoid inspection by falsely labeling their meat as inspected.

    The active regulatory body discovered it, and as it wasn't inspected, the rule is immediate Class I.

    While im all for blaming the GOP on deregulation, deregulation did not enable this. Regulation issued the recall.

    After this, importing foreign meat, and the secretary of agriculture suggesting Americans should eat less beef if they can’t afford it, you’d expect the people who flipped out over just the speculation that Biden would limit beef consumption for all Americans to be livid right now.

    Officially inspected meat from the US is not good enough for export into the EU. How much worse could uninspected meat be?
