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.
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.
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.
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)
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.
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.
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?
oh, the grocery store and restaurants where I get my food or the other ones?

I was more commenting on OPs implication that just reading the recall alert is enough.
Call your butcher.
Call walmart about what exactly

…where do you grab it from?
Canada no doubt.
Damn. How do you get arms that long?

OP doesn’t want you to say this. Thank you, though. This is the way.
