    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.

      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.
