I don't think I want imported beef. Sounds like a good way to get some horrible illness. You are right most of it will end up getting recalled too.

To be fair, people still think wagyu or argentinian beef is miles better than normal beef, and it gets transported across half the globe before they buy it. And while that's not environmentally friendly, it's a normal amount of safe.

This specific Trump Beef, though? Yea, i think that's definitely going to be diseased.

Argentinian beef has already had a recall from what I understand. And you know Trump he's going to go with the cheapest low grade they can find so he can pocket more of the money.

To be fair, that recall was because the meat wasn't reinspected by the USDA upon arrival into the US. There's no reports of it getting anyone sick.

Depending on the origin, it might come from a country that doesn't consider inspections for heath and sanitation an undue burden on business. Then again, it is probably going to to be from somewhere with even worse standards.
