All USA beef I see. Does it strike anyone else as pointless to continue funding the USDA if American food products are going to be less safe than products from countries which don’t have any such entity “protecting” them? Because it seems to me that catching bad meat AFTER it has been sold instead of BEFORE it gets shipped is the sign of an orgnization which speciallzes not in ensuring safety, but in assigning blame and closing the barn door after the horses have gone.

Actually we need to give the USDA more “teeth” to enforce. We shouldn’t be letting the industry have so much say in the regulations and enforcement. They meat industry is more concerned with profit than safety

We have a USDA because older generations don’t have the morals to confess.

So if it was repackaged at a local store, how would I know if I had the tainted product?
