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 mean, definitely read the article, 167000 lbs, isn't very much. I imagine that a certain area around north Carolina is affected, but not much more then that.
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.
Plot twist: this is big veggies trying to get people to stop eating meat.
If you live in America right now you should probably not eat anything. Everything seems to be fucked.
I hear the rich are tasty this time of year.
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?!

It could be argued that if they did, they might suck like the rest of them.
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).
But, also Musk.
Inside the FDA After DOGE: Six Former Staffers Describe What Was Lost When the Cuts Came
Six former FDA employees described ongoing drug safety reviews, food inspection coordination, and public health surveillance programs that were disrupted or halted by their departures.

167,000 pounds sounds like .001% of what is currently for sale nationwide, or something.
Or maybe just look at the recall list https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/star-meat-delivery-inc--recalls-raw-pork-beef-and-goat-products-produced-without
Don't promote this wasteful sensationalism. Maintain sanity.
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)
This recall list is for things the grocery store or restaurants see, not consumer sized cuts. When was the last time you bought 30lbs of menudo mix?
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.
From my perspective, 167k is what they FOUND.
Its like finding a roach in your house.
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.
See? I told you so, bro. Industry can regulate itself just fine.
I don't know why you're laughing.
Stop buying meat at all. Let the industry collapse. Itβs 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 canβt afford it, youβd expect the people who flipped out over just the speculation that Biden would limit beef consumption for all Americans to be livid right now.
Fuck you republicans
this is all on you, from voters to politicians
you really are garbage people, fuck you from the bottom of my heart
Officially inspected meat from the US is not good enough for export into the EU. How much worse could uninspected meat be?
βWeβre gonna win so much, you may even get tired of winning. And youβll say, βPlease, please. Itβs too much winning. We canβt take it anymore, Mr. President, itβs too much.β And Iβll say, βNo it isnβt. We have to keep winning. We have to win more!ββ
No. Canada still has proper rules and regulations in place...
Sounds like a great time to go vegan. π
Yeah 'cause we know all the fresh veggie product from such brands as Taylor Farms is perfectly safe...
(jk going vegetarian or vegan is an admirable choice even if you do it noncommittally by reducing your animal protein consumption. Every 1 gram of animal protein required ~9g of feed depending on the animal.)
Idk maybe a hot take, but i think we should retitle posts so it isn't clickbait.
