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.
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.
If you live in America right now you should probably not eat anything. Everything seems to be fucked.
How’s that chlorinated chicken going… Yeah
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
167,000 pounds sounds like .001% of what is currently for sale nationwide, or something.
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.
This is why I only eat meat I bought years ago.
damn. big meat running roughshod turns into a problem - who knew?
TIL less than a tenth of one percent is a “reasonable probability”. America consumes more than 200 million pounds of meat every day.
YSK Costco does independent testing of their meat.
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).
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.
I felt the same way about a search engine, until I realized you’re paying for curation, which is what makes it good.
Except for their own Kirkland Signature brand, they sell the same shit everyone else does but bigger. What curation?
but… it’s bigger
“Why not have them go to 10 and just make 10 louder?”
“…These go to 11.”
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.
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.
Plot twist: this is big veggies trying to get people to stop eating meat.
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.
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 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.
I mean, there’s an argument to be made it’s good advice regardless of recalls
Don’t buy meat at all.
This is the way.
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.
No. Canada still has proper rules and regulations in place…
Not that I’d buy meat labeled “Made in USA” in the first place.
