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
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.
TIL less than a tenth of one percent is a “reasonable probability”. America consumes more than 200 million pounds of meat every day.
How’s that chlorinated chicken going… Yeah
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.
Sounds woke tbh
Yeah nobody needs any of that gay regulation commie bullshit
They want to trans your milk. Don’t let them.
If you live in America right now you should probably not eat anything. Everything seems to be fucked.
I here the rich are tasty this time of year.
They are full of prions. Compost them instead.
Well if your on only Lemmie or Reddit all you see is the bad shit
you should probably not eat anything
Can’t. Too expensive.
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.
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?
yep, it only applies to some weird place east of the miss pissy river
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.
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?!
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.
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.”
Don’t buy meat at all.
This is the way.
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, there’s an argument to be made it’s good advice regardless of recalls
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.
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.
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.
Sitting in a Heathrow terminal wondering, why am I going home?
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?
How’d you get out? My wife and I would love to move, but my career isn’t exactly in high demand.
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:
Shit’s okay in Australia too, we got problems but not openly toxic meat problems.
I can’t say I’ve ever got the shits from Lettuce either.
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 …
