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.
Great context! While the recall shouldn’t be ignored, 167k is indeed a teeny tiny amount of beef that only that specific GA market should worry about.
By my cowboy calculations the domestic beef packers produce about 400 million pounds of beef per week. 140m of that is trim for ground beef and another 120m are beef cuts. Rest is organ meat and bones.
Your local Sysco chews through more beef than this in a day.
Fake inspection bug is no joke though. This isn’t a case of a reputable supplier that started running before their tardy inspector arrived. This is an unscrupulous rogue actor that likely has 0 concern for product safety.
