So 100k lbs of meat is destroyed rather than inspecting it and fining the source? It's one thing if something is actually wrong with the meat; it's another if it's just lacking a sticker.

A reasonable question.   Since the eat is already processed and packed up, it's in THOUSANDS of places, not just one anymore.  If you look in your fridge, all the meat has an inspection label, so being inspected is about as routine as can be.

SOMEONE decided to BYPASS that routine and print up FAKE labels.  Why would they do that?   What's so WRONG with that meat?   I for one, wouldn't want to find out the hard way.

Do YOU?  I recommend not.

The odd parts are included, but so are the rib eyes.   Just because some people eat differently is no reason to put them in harm's way.......

Who would buy that shyt?  Maybe the zoo or someone else that owns a lot of meat eating animals.  No human would want that except for the deathly starving.

I'm assuming the meat is fine, and this is just a technical issue. Until proven otherwise. If it's a bunch of shyt cuts of meat, then somebody is on the hook for skipping inspection.

It looks like it may just be the USDA flexing hard on the food supply because that's what you do when you're a mother fuqing federal agency.  The feds seize it then destroy it. 

I found this:

https://www.fsis.usda.gov/sites/default … 8410.1.pdf

This directive provides instructions to Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) program employees on
detaining and preparing a recommendation to seize meat, poultry, shell eggs, and egg products found in
commerce when there is reason to believe that the products are adulterated, misbranded, or otherwise in
violation of the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA), the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA), or the Egg
Products Inspection Act (EPIA) (the Acts). FSIS is reissuing this directive to update information related
to detentions and seizures, add the Understanding Product Detention attachment, and provide additional
updates.

Not democrat or republican, but put those responsible for FAKE INSPECTIONS of meat in the dungeon!!!

USDA recalled roughly 167,639 pounds of uninspected pork, beef, and goat products from Star Meat Delivery Inc. that were falsely labeled with federal inspection marks and distributed nationwide to consumers, restaurants, and retailers.

Agreed.  I am glad you are for severe punishments for something, even if it is not murder or rape.

But whether it is a big danger or not really depends on the actual facts.  All of this could be clean.  But there is no way to know because they bypassed the chain of inspection that would guarantee that.  I think we will never know, but we don't have to because we are not the lawbreakers here.  Fuq these morons.
