Probably applies to Canadians too.
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?
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.
I would assume officials warning this is a “nationwide” issue means exactly all of the US.
There are lot numbers for specific products, it’s not all meat and it’s not distributed evenly across the country.
There specifically is no list of lot numbers. There is a list of labels by the distributor, but the warning clearly states stores might have repackaged.
167 metric tonnes doesnt seem like that much in the grand scheme things, but ultimately that could at worst kill hundreds of people.
It’s only 76 metric tonnes.
Pounds, not even tons.
I mean, there’s an argument to be made it’s good advice regardless of recalls
If you live in America right now you should probably not eat anything. Everything seems to be fucked.
This is why I only eat meat I bought years ago.
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?!
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.
Personally, I hate needing to pay a god damn subscription in order to spend more money buying stuff at their store.
Honestly my big Costco gripe is just that the sizes are awkward and big, but they aren’t really selling to businesses anymore… So like why? It would make sense to me if I were buying like cases or something that could be resold. I have a small family, so it’s always an exercise in creativity to use all of the produce and meat before it gets wasted. But if I bought less at a regular grocery store, I would almost always be paying more.
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.
But, also Musk.
Inside the FDA After DOGE: Six Former Staffers Describe What Was Lost When the Cuts Came

Trump gave him that power
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)
…where do you grab it from?
Canada no doubt.
Damn. How do you get arms that long?
You need to set your comfort level where it suits you, sure. However best to go into this informed with the actual available data. I’m not a vegetarian, but excessive meat waste really makes me cringe. Agree for future purposes, as with everything - avoid buying American (US) whenever possible.
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?
individual consumer packages may not bear this labeling, as retail stores may have applied their own stickers with pricing and safe handling instructions
The recalled meat could still have ended up in packages for consumers. What they’re saying is that you can’t know since retail stores would have cut up this meat and repackaged it.
I was more commenting on OPs implication that just reading the recall alert is enough.
Call your butcher.
Call walmart about what exactly
They can tell you where meat is sourced and if their meat has been recalled. Im sure Walmart could do this but if not it’s time to find another butcher.
oh, the grocery store and restaurants where I get my food or the other ones?
OP doesn’t want you to say this. Thank you, though. This is the way.
I would if I could, the website gives this error.

damn this guy trusts the US government to protect farm customers
They faked a label. Executives need to go to prison.
Business needs to be completely shut down.

Great album, it’ll be interesting to hear a bunch of executives try to recreate such a clas- OH MY GOD, WHY WOULDN’T YOU WARN ME??? MY MOUTH WAS OPEN!
I have no clue what you mean by sending people to the wall, but I imagine it involves a human cannon and, well… a wall…
i was under the impression that the person i was replying to, not me, wanted to send ceos that album. it’s an ok album.
Indeed, but the Orange Turd will pardon them.
Keep dreamin’ (we all know they don’t get in real trouble]*
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 don’t have roaches in my home. we mainly use oils and butters but once in a while get the bong out but its annoying to clean
…sayin’ I’m happy when I’m NOT,
finding roaches in the POT.Whoaaooaaa, all these things I dooo,
they’re waiting for you…That’s too bad, they multiply exponentially and when you see one there’s like a million others already there
whoa. you’re blowing my mind man
Do you know why they found it? Because they LOOK for that.
It’s an extremely unpopular opinion, and Trump has tried to make our safety nets worse, but the US has pretty good safety nets.
But just like anything else, good safety doesn’t mean nothing ever happens. “Safe” drivers are still involved in accidents. Airplanes are safer than cars but do occasionally crash.
We should always want more safety, but food safety in the US is still pretty damned good.
Tell that to all the people who ate Taco Bell shredded lettuce. US food safety is worse than any developed western country. It was before Trump.
Air traffic control too. Wtf.
Why are so many Americans sharing this cope? Your country is fucked and has been fucking you your whole life. Why gaslight others?
“Airplanes are safer to travel in than cars.” “Tell that to someone who died in a plane crash!”
I’m focused on the fascism and oligarch problem that are fucking me, not on things that are popular but INCORRECT as major problems.
Massive cuts to air traffic control has resulted in accidents killing people.
Massive cuts and underfunding of regulatory bodies has made food more unsafe and deadly. Combined with a legislative environment that also has different pesticides, processes, growth hormones, gmos and other additives deemed unsafe for human consumption in other developed countries.
Massive cuts in foreign aid are leading to outbreaks endangering US food supplies.
With the efforts to neuter regulatory and inspection agencies, it’s surprising they caught this, but who knows how long it’s been going on even just the one company
167k is what wasn’t federally checked. Nothing was found or even tested. Which isn’t great, but it’s not like it is killing people.
Per capita my man
The internet should know I’m a moron.
I used to do it too, the context was correct and we dont write down everything we know. Its normal
Yes but OP wants to spread fear. Be afraid. Please?
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
It would just get more subsidies than it already does.
Honestly I feel like that would just lead to Billionaires buying it up on pennies on the dollar and even worse outcomes.
Like isn’t that what Trump and Co are actively doing? Doesn’t JD have a company that is actively buying up ranching land?
This is news to me that the meat industry isn’t already owned by billionaires.
Well it is and it isn’t. They have bought up all the packing plants creating a monopoly and an artificial constraint/bottle neck. So the billionaires set the prices which was already putting small ranchers out of business. Trump 2.0 has just exacerbated this process by making the inputs way more expensive.
And do what with it…? If it collapses like that, they have a worthless property.
It will never completely collapse. There will still be a demand for meat and now they can set whatever price they want because they control the entire supply.
See? I told you so, bro. Industry can regulate itself just fine.
I don’t know why you’re laughing.
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.
The frustrating part is vegetables and even tofu had their own scares this year.
Got food poisoning this week, probably from cilantro.
I’m pissed. First time I’m my life I’ve ever had it and now I have to boil my pico de gallo or it’ll probably happen again
The great thing about cilantro is that you can wash it with soap and if you leave a little soap on there you won’t taste it
No boil, but wash in (lightly) soapy water with lots of agitation for at least a minute and rinse well. Or use a product designed for that and rinse well.
Yeah, I’d be pissed too. The problem these days is that anything less than an actual cleaning agent isn’t going to dislodge whatever industrial-strength nasty is on the leaves, so you can’t just rinse and call it done anymore.
Not shaming you, I had to learn the hard way too. I wash all produce now, and have for years. When you know, you know, and now unfortunately you know too.
I’m probably going to do both going forward
I know boiling works cus I cooked the beans I made with the water from the contaminated pico the cilantro was in (didn’t know I had a problem at that point).
I’ve been eating the beans still, no problems, so the cooking must’ve helped neutralize it.
Yeah washing your own cilantro is a pain in the ass but it’s worth it.
Obligatory joke about how it’s a bigger pain the ass to not wash it.
Fr though I’ve heard it’s basically impossible to wash the bacteria off veggies if it’s there and cooking is the only safe option. Washing is for dirt and pesticides. So do both.
My grandmother lived in an expat enclave in Taipei in the 60s and was told to dunk absolutely everything from the market in a dilute bleach solution and let it dry.
Same treatment for the odd skin rash. Have the kid take a bath in dilute bleach (I have had this procedure, itchy as fuck but it works).
I guess that’s an option
How do you boil salsa?
The tomatoes are pretty watery, even after pulling out over a cup of water. Plus the lime juice added a bit back.
Basically I just dumped it into a high-rimmed sauce pan, turned on the heat and waited til it was boiling. I gave it ~25 minutes on a light boil, and it smelled a bit less pungent but otherwise looked about the same.
Oh. Yeah, that makes more sense than dumping it in boiling water.
lol I can see how that’d be confusing, and gross sounding
Even fruits too… ugh… 😕
vegetables
So definitely don’t eat Mitch when devouring the rich
*w I n k
Yeah at this point the solution is community gardens.
That still means eating less meat - good luck raising a cow in your neighborhood lol
My neighbor has several cows. Next year I’m gonna get one.
Most people live in cities
Sucks to be them I guess.

Hay not included.
Damn near everything in this shithole is contaminated as of the past year or two so there’s no winning safety-wise by shifting to plant-based, at least on that front.
I have noticed I tend to get sicker when I eat the (properly cooked!) little meat I can lately, though, which I suspect is due to skyrocketed antibiotic use in poultry farming the last decade or two. I also avoid deli meats for similar reasons.
Eating less meat is good for the planet and your health, even if the meat is not contaminated.
there’s no winning safety-wise by shifting to plant-based, at least on that front.
And my following paragraph elaborates on meat still being a somewhat worse option
Okay, my bad. I take safety as meaning overall health outcomes not just acute sickness.
I do think it’s useful to consider that fecal contamination of produce is often associated with poor management of waste from the industrial slaughter industry.
It makes sense, the government is contaminated with greedy/corrupt/pervy morons, of course they wouldn’t be able to give any serious thought into their responsibilities. They’re too busy taking bribes or hanging out on Islands or funding genocide.
Anyone with half a brain knew this was going to happen, eventually.
The only question is, was it on purpose or by accident?
I say a combination of both, in that order.
Does fit the Russian agent theory pretty well. Intentional chaos.
Agent Krasnov is his name-o
The only people that hate the American government more than the Russians are rich people.
Yes, I’m cherry picking.
and those are “linked” and “may”
Reducing methane production is an easier sell. Crops are less a better return on land use -> food. The better Plant based beef for most uses is better than trash-level burger meat.
Dont upset the planet warmers. They’re already upset about AI warming up the planet and using up vast amounts of water.
I’m gonna need you to go into your moldy bathroom, look into your toothpaste splattered mirror…and slap yourself. Three times. Really hard.
Or, just look at yourself and think about what you just said.
I’m sure either option will be equally painful.
Oh? Did I say something wrong?
Don’t feel so bad about being a terrible human. Maybe someday you’ll be better. I hope so. There’s plenty of shitty people out there. Be unique.
Im a terrible human being? For…?
