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.
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.

Don’t promote this wasteful sensationalism. Maintain sanity.

…where do you grab it from?
Canada no doubt.
