More than 167,000 pounds of meat are being recalled across the United States after being produced without proper federal inspection, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.
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.
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.
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

From my perspective, 167k is what they FOUND.

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.

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?
