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.
Trump gave him that power
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...
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.
Yes but OP wants to spread fear. Be afraid. Please?
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...
Indeed, but the Orange Turd will pardon them.
Keep dreamin' (we all know they don't get in real trouble]*
Or maybe just look at the recall list https://www.fsis.usda.gov/...
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
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"the liberals are going to make us eat bugs"
Yeah, but those people are really dumb.
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.
... this is absolutely down to deregulation. You wouldn't be able to put your fake stickers on shit if the FDA guy is there everyday like he's fucking supposed to be.
Intentional lax enforcement is defacto deregulation.
I’ll be honest with you; I’m inclined to look at it the same way as the person you’re replying to and I’ve yet to see any article attributing this to, or outlining how it’s related to, the recent de-regulation.
Perhaps you could source your claim?
Call me sceptical but I doubt a fiction book published ~120 years ago predicted the recall of 167000 pounds of meat in 2026 and then went further to outline how it was directly related to the recent deregulation by the Trump administration.
Perhaps you’d like to be a little more verbose and expand on this comment?
If we had proper regulation, there would not have been 167000lbs of this shit to recall.
This is not 'oh, the regulation works or it doesn't', humans like to do that a lot for some reason, this whole 'it's either one thing or the other'. Nuance and gradients are a real thing. This would not have happened in a robust regulatory environment. The one we have operates on shoe strings.
Edit: 167000lbs at minimum. As another poster pointed out, this is just what was found. Which is like finding a roach in your house.
You bold it like that’s some significant number….
The US consumes 76 billion pounds of red meat and poultry per year.
Thsi is more like finding a mosquito in your house.
Holy red herring. The point isn't the percentage, the point is that fraud this size got past the system at all. They falsified labels - that's egregious, planned, and indicates a systemic issue with the company.
And sprinkling in a bit of cherry picking? You're dividing what 1 single inspection incident caught against the entire country's consumption of all meat for an entire year. This is apples and oranges, and entirely beside the point - you don't conflate detection with prevalence. Detection indicates a thing is happening, but doesn't indicate the entire scope. If you'd like to look at it in a real-world sort of way - this single inspection incident showed that enough beef to feed nearly 3000 people for an entire year had falsified labels. You can always make something seem small if you appeal to a relative scale to suit your argument.
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.
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.
I mean, there's an argument to be made it's good advice regardless of recalls
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.
yep, it only applies to some weird place east of the miss pissy river
“We’re gonna win so much, you may even get tired of winning. And you’ll say, ‘Please, please. It’s too much winning. We can’t take it anymore, Mr. President, it’s too much.’ And I’ll say, ‘No it isn’t. We have to keep winning. We have to win more!’”
I think I'm in the top 10% of income, but not top 2%. I do not feel like I'm winning as I feel like I'm lacking security in my job, and preparing for an alternative career if necessary (AI replacement, at will employment, private equity)
"We" is the wealthy, and they sure are winning so much that I, as a member of the "you" am very, very, past my limit of their winning.
Sounds woke tbh
They want to trans your milk. Don't let them.
In my Days we ate the Meat raw and the Milk from the cow tit. First they Homosomethingt our Milk now they want to take our Meat away. Fuck Biden
Idk maybe a hot take, but i think we should retitle posts so it isn't clickbait.
No, keep it. But disregard it for what it is: bullshit.
As the late great George Carlin told us: it's bullshit, and it's bad for us.
Fuck you, OP.
See? I told you so, bro. Industry can regulate itself just fine.
I don't know why you're laughing.
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?!
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).
Star Meat Delivery Inc., based in Lucama, North Carolina, is recalling 167,639 pounds of raw pork, beef and goat products that were distributed to restaurants and retailers.
Chicken is fine I guess. Clickbait ass title motherfuckers wasting my time.
And then, on top of that, it was because of fraudulent labels, Not that it was bad, or could be bad, but it just wasn't officially checked.
and then, we don't even know if it's true. It could just be another spin of the week to look like they're cracking down on food safety after they dismantled so much of the food safety infrastructure.
Maybe. We don't have enough information to know what's going on. We don't know for a fact that the labels are fake. We have a food safety department that was gutted and replaced by puppet management who have been suspiciously VERY active after receiving critisism that firing and dismantling food safety was a really big public problem.
It might have been actual bad meat
It might have been that the feds weren't going to get to it in time so they just pushed it out the door.
It might be that the labels used were deemed unofficial.
There's to many corrupt things happening right now to say for certain that it was a bad vendor for sure, but we'll never know because that's not how this plays out these days. There's no oversight on the watchers.
Just make sure you didn’t purchase any yourself or go to restaurants than have
i dont know why it wasted your time, didnt say anything about poultry.
I mean, you can milk a cat.
and you've never once seen a sale advertising 20% off chicken meat, because no one calls it chicken meat. its called fuckin Poultry.
Person: I don’t eat meat
This guy: Don’t worry! You can have this, it’s poultry!
....yes, but eating poultry is still eating meat. People do call it red meat for a reason. Also poultry does have white and dark meat.
Sounds like a great time to go vegan. 🖖
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.)
Any advice on how to make tofu flavourful? I've been trying to use it but anytime I do, it's more just kinda there rather than really adding anything to the flavour profile. Ironically, some of the "failures" where it all crumbled into something similar to scrambled eggs might have been one of the times where it did seem to pick up flavour, but while I wouldn't say the texture was bad that way, I'd like to get more out of it without it falling apart if possible.
Some chefs on shows like culinary class wars put great effort into making tofu for their dishes (one guy even won the whole show with a dish like that), so I feel like there's gotta be something I'm missing.
Lots of people on YouTube have tons of tips on ways to doctor up the taste and texture of tofu, but personally what I think it comes down to is just eating it regularly enough for it to become an acquired taste. It's not the best absorber of flavors, sauces and marinades will only penetrate about a millimeter or two. You can get deep flavor infusion with brines, but then you're eating a lot of sodium too.
People often recommend cutting it into smaller pieces so you're getting a better sauce to tofu ratio. As you said, crumbling it does increase surface area and help it hold more flavors.
So just keep trying things, and keep eating it, cause eventually you will start to actually enjoy it's own natural flavor (some brands taste better than others too). I'm at the point now where I keep it as simple as possible. Forget the unnecessary kitchen gear like presses. I take it right out of the package, maybe squeeze a little water out, and then I'll just smash the thing and crumble it right into whatever I'm cooking.
Yeah mostly joking. I actually do like some of the veggie substitutes. I also like tofu. My grocer carries a brand of ultra dense stuff that's great breaded and fried.
They start the first time you can mention you are vegan in a conversation that isn't about food or animal products.
I use arch btw.
Arch is the veg-pescetarian of Linux. If you're going to act smug, at least install Gentoo or one of the "fully free" distros.
The meme is Arch btw.
I also do CrossFit, do you even lift bro?
It's a gradual building process, but some perks happen very quickly. Like your whole body being in distinctly less pain - that can happen in days depending on your inflammation status. Or being super bloated because you started eating way too much fiber way too soon, that can happen in a day.
After a few years you may find your immune system starts to become superhuman. Not even joking, it's kind of wild how much more resilient I am to sickness these days. Getting sick far less frequently, symptoms consistently becoming laughably mild, and duration is far shorter too.
well, I'm a decade in, and still no powers D:
You have to be more righteous about it
It's a passive, you just statistically live longer and feel better.
That's why I said statistically. Yeah you can go vegan on oreos and french fries and drag down the stats, but on the whole vegans do better.
It know, not a great superpower.
once you go vegan you instantaneously get the power of a smug sense of superiority. though, admittedly, it doesn't do anything but make you an annoying asshole.
That will get you sick or kill you too, I'm afraid.
What if I can’t afford to get sick or die?
It's free. But also it costs money. But it totally also doesn't cost any money.
As a vegan, uh, no. Lol. Quite the opposite.
Did we already memory hole the diarrhea lettuce?
Don't forget the killer frozen blueberries.
So cook your greens.
Under today's FDA, everybody dies of foodborne illness.
equal opportunity
nah. I'll just continue purchasing meat from my local butcher that sources from local farms.
thanks though.
edit: leave it to vegans to get butthurt over someone ethically sourcing meat from local farms that don't mistreat their livestock. vegan forbid enjoining a succulent Chinese meal if it contains beef that likely had a happy life.
The average person in the US eats ~330g of meat per day. multiplied by 350 million people is ~11.5 billion grams, which is around 254 million pounds of meat per day. This recall is about 0.066% of the daily meat consumption in the US.
no
About 668,000 servings, enough to give almost every single person in Washington DC explosive diarrhea.
Great context! While the recall shouldn't be ignored, 167k is indeed a teeny tiny amount of beef that only that specific GA market should worry about.
By my cowboy calculations the domestic beef packers produce about 400 million pounds of beef per week. 140m of that is trim for ground beef and another 120m are beef cuts. Rest is organ meat and bones.
Your local Sysco chews through more beef than this in a day.
Fake inspection bug is no joke though. This isn't a case of a reputable supplier that started running before their tardy inspector arrived. This is an unscrupulous rogue actor that likely has 0 concern for product safety.
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.
They are full of prions. Compost them instead.
you should probably not eat anything
Can't. Too expensive.
Well if your on only Lemmie or Reddit all you see is the bad shit
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.
Not a big deal....until it's you. Then it's a pretty big deal.
I mean I agree, that's true. But you have to measure what you are worried about.
Chances of being killed by a falling safe also aren't a big deal. Until it happens to me. But I'm not going to worry about it happening.
This one I am somewhat more worried about but still not very. Yet.
Also applies to Canadians
At this point even if they weren't threatening Canada I wouldn't buy American food or alcohol at all in general because their regulatory bodies are being gutted and corruption is sky rocketing.
Unless it's processed food I think? Yeah you're probably right.
Not that I'd buy meat labeled "Made in USA" in the first place.
Omg they were rounding up wild horses recently
Yuuuuuuuup...
GOP finding out the hard way why rules exist.
Until dinner time, at least.
Oh, they know. Which is exactly why they want to get rid of the rules that "prevent" (really just put in the absolute bare minimum of standards) companies from actively harming their customers and employees (too badly) to make a quick buck.
I already felt pretty good about not eating meat*. I think this would have have been a big motivator if I wasn't already on board
*Ok, I'm kind of a half assed vegetarian. I generally don't buy meat but if I'm at like a dinner someone else planned I might have some they cooked. It's easier than going all the way to 100%, and has reduced my meat consumption by like 95%.
This doesn't seem to include any chicken.
But it comes with Froyo?
chicken froyo? that seems bad
Yet.
The items were “produced without the benefit of federal inspection, bearing labels with a false USDA mark of inspection,” the USDA said. The products beared the number “EST. 1363,” which does not have a federal grant of inspection, and should be considered misbranded and unsafe to eat, the agency said.
We gotta worry about fake federal labels now??
well....not fake exactly... more like unsanctioned use of.
trump desperately trying to get argentinian beef to bypass meat inspections, which most other countries have banned already.
Hello fellow americans! You guys doing OK over there? Things are pretty good here in Spain, language issues my biggest obsticle. But hey, you let me know when we americans are winning ok? Are we winning yet?
I’m afraid that my career is in high demand. I’m on a highly qualified worker visa at least until i’m married or hit 5 years (5 years will be first at this rate). Found the role through relocate dot me, had my CV (not resume) all set, lots of “will relocate to EU” messages in there too and was willing to take a huge (75%) paycut. I also sold everything, paid off all my debts and basically moved with just a few suitcases and my dog.
My advice, it looks glamours but life is not always that way. If you can work it out, take 30-60 days in the country you think you want to live in first. Not vacation, live there. Go shopping (food, clothes, furniture), talk to neighbors, ride transit, get a local cell phone number.. everything reasonable. I thrived at this, my Ex did not. And yes, ex… we had other big problems but that was the issue that ended everything. In the end it just took time to land the role and I am happy I did - I want this for a very long time, just didn’t expect to be single :lol:
Wasn't there JUST an outbreak of cyclospora? There are regularly issues with lettuce giving people the shits and more, hear about it at least annually lol. But hey I haven't got the shits from meat OR veggies, except that one time I ate a chicken calzone I left in my trunk overnight. That was a nice lesson on the "danger zone" of foods ...
I wish 167,000 lbs was a significant quantity of meat.
The US creates almost 300 million lbs of dead animal per day.
(Calculated from this: https://ers.usda.gov/...)
I want off this fucking horrible ride dude...
you might be thinking that this is horrific news. massive amounts of pork, beef, and goat are recalled according to the USDA.
but guess what guys! I have great news!
perfect timing, right?!
Yeah it should be "check before eating", ideally with details on the supplier, and where it was sold. That's more informative and targeted
Don't buy meat at all.
Aside from beans, what's good for people who need the calories and protein?
Paneer. It's easy to make at home, just use some whole milk and lime juice. Save the whey, use it in recipes that call for adding water
For those unfamiliar, paneer is a cheese made from cow's milk, very common in Indian dishes. It doesn't melt, so you can use it largely the same way you would tofu, but where tufu has a kind of wet squishy texture, paneer is more firm and chewy. When paneer is heated, it kinda has the same texture as mozzarella when mozzarella is cold.
It's really good cut into slabs, marinated in pretty much any sauce under the sun - whatever you're in the mood for- and grilled/smoked. (edit - low temp! don't grill it like it's a steak or something, or it'll burn)
Red (split) lentils are pretty simple. Unlike other lentils, they don't need soaking for making them less farty and they cook fairly quickly. Can use them as pseudo-bolognese in tomato sauce, or just with rice and veggies, or cook them until they disintegrate (=dal) and then eat with bread etc..
Smoked tofu is also fairly simple (can just eat as-is with bread or in salad or whatever), but you may need to try a few brands to find one with a nice smoke flavour.
If you can find these in the vegan aisle, they're also worth trying: https://en.wikipedia.org/...
They're often sold as "soy chunks" or "soy strips".
You just cook them in vegetable broth and then you can fry them like meat. Or if you're really gangster, you fry them while they're dry and then put them into the sauce of your dish, so they soak that up.
I recommend these in particular, because they're chewy, which is something you might miss from other meat alternatives.
Yeah, I thought I need to mention that, since lots of folks avoid lentils, just because they bloat you when not prepared right. Which is really unfortunate, because lentils are an excellent protein. Healthy, tasty, shelf-stable for an eternity, and at least split lentils are dead simple to prepare as well.
TVP is awesome! We add it to pasta sauce to get a meaty texture. We've also used it in faux shepherd's pie, reconstituted with some sort of gravy.
TVP is shelf stable and a good ground meat substitute in dishes where the meat's there as a texture and carrier for spices and other flavors.
Pea protein is cheaper than whey protein. Its slightly less optimal in terms of amino acids but not by a huge amount and eating a diverse diet covers that anyway. 5lbs of naked pea protein is like $60 and it’s 76 servings that are each 120 calories and 27g protein per 30g powder. I add it to a lot of stuff like overnight oats and such
This is not for all of America. RTFA OP.
The FDA link in the article lists the product labels affected. I thinks it’s all labeled “A&D Foods” and has “EST. 1363” on the label. It all went to a distributor in Georgia.
Well it didn’t stop there, from FSIS
The raw pork, beef, and goat items were produced on various dates prior to September 22, 2026. The products were vacuum-sealed and packed into cardboard boxes for shipment; individual consumer packages may not bear this labeling, as retail stores may have applied their own stickers with pricing and safe handling instructions. The following products, distributed in bulk under the A&D Foods label, are subject to recall
The part that would be of concern to your average consumer is this bit
individual consumer packages may not bear this labeling, as retail stores may have applied their own stickers with pricing and safe handling instructions.
So if that Georgia Distributor, you know, distributes it to a grocery store and they repack it, you won’t be able to tell.
RTFRA
These items were shipped to A&D Foods, a distributor in Georgia, for further distribution to retail and restaurant locations nationwide.
Whatever man I want to die anyway.
Sitting in a Heathrow terminal wondering, why am I going home?
Also applies to Canadians.
Does it? I could not find anything on the Canadian side
The recall is about improperly labelled beef and pork that says it was USDA inspected. I don't think Canadians have a USDA.
Something tells me OP's motivation for lying about the types of meat and the countries involved is because they're one of those "militant" vegans.
167,000 pounds? Is that Joe's backyard barbeque? He does cook up a lot of burgers...
Be also wary of meat you haven't bought recently (meat doesn't last long after the animal is killed). This doesn't apply to frozen or otherwise processed meat. This was supposed to be a funny joke, but I think I kinda am going too long for it to be funny
Maybe we could go on longer by adding "or scavenged from the side of the road" as an RFK reference
I just received a notice from our mayor , you can get free envelopes at the post office, that are addressed to Pennsylvania Avenue, wash DC. You can put the meat in there, you don’t need a stamp.
Conservative America, folks.
Maybe this will be enough to get people off their asses to do the thing most likely to remove conservatives from power? I'm sure they'll find one specific thing they don't like about the Dems and use that to justify being single issue voters/non-voters.
Send in the clowns.
Easier thing to try. Don't eat meat : )
Its funny, because Trump thought he opened some new amazing trade deal with Australia for beef export from US.
Nobody here is buying their shit beef (maybe 2 or 3 trump supporters here in Australia did), so, the good news is that we're not affected regardless
The admin isn't helping
I've been suspecting that something was up. Idk I don't have any way to prove it and maybe the recall event hasn't been going on this long but for the past several months I've noticed that the date on meat is way farther in the future than it should be. Stuff I've gotta buy up and use today is marked "sell by next week".
Anyone else notice this? Maybe it's unrelated
The recall is about a specific company that falsified inspection labels.
Probably another unrelated problem then
I noticed on some ground chicken had a longer date than the turkey and they were packed near the same time. I just assumed maybe the chicken was shipped frozen so it allowed longer time.
Also had to toss a rack of ribs that still had 4 days and vacuum sealed and my refrigerator is colder than the recommended residential fridge.
I'd like to give a sincere welcome to our new prion overlords!
Spin the wheel!
TIL less than a tenth of one percent is a "reasonable probability". America consumes more than 200 million pounds of meat every day.
This is a cruel thing to say but from an outside perspective, seems like the US government is forcing a diet on the population. Brutal but efficient to address that overweight problem.
Edit: for real? Isn't the /s obvious?
It's a bit cruel, but mostly stupid. People getting sick and dying doesn't really help anyone lose weight.
What are we supposed to do? Eat more lettuce? Oops, diarrhea.
Of course it is cruel and stupid. An isolated event would be bad enough but the US government seems to be on a streak to inflict easily avoidable distress and suffering to the population. It's calous behaviour. Anywhere else, people would be housted and prosecuted for gross negligence and incompetence.
The prefer an unhealthy population.
Easier to get when the population is sick and worked to death.
thanks for using Leebra!
