Company recalls nearly 10 million pounds of meat after USDA probe
BrucePac last week recalled 9,986,245 pounds of its ready-to-eat meat products due to possible listeria contamination.
US Department of Agriculture (USDA) officials claimed they detected the bacteria in chicken strips produced by BrucePac’s Oklahoma plant. The Oregon-based company, which specializes in packaged, ready-to-eat proteins, has now recalled 5,000 tons of chicken and meat products.
“Restaurants, institutions, and other establishments are urged not to serve or use these products. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase,” the USDA said.
There have so far been no reported illnesses from the recalled meat.
Seven million pounds of meat recalled
In July, Brooklyn-based meat giant Boar’s Head recalled seven million pounds of products after the USDA claimed it detected listeria in its liverwurst. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 10 people died and at least 59 have fell ill from the recalled products. The Virginia plant where the meat supposedly originated has permanently closed.
Democrat politicians are urging Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Attorney General Merrick Garland to bring criminal charges against Boar’s Head, according to CNN.
Calls to ban meat for climate change
The recalls come amid increased calls to phase out meat to “fight climate change.” The United Nations, World Health Organization, and World Economic Forum have long been calling to stifle meat production, along with other globalist governments. Athletes at this year’s Olympic Games in Paris were originally denied meat due to climate change. In the meantime, globalist billionaires like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos have been investing in the fake meat industry.
Last year, the USDA approved the commercial sale of lab-grown or “cultured” meat, making the US only the second country in the world after Singapore to do so.
Lab-grown meat is created in a laboratory using cow stem cells which are placed in a petri dish and injected with growth hormones until they develop into edible meat tissue. The tissue is cultured and grown into masses of meat which sit in steel tanks until they are cut to look like real meat.
Fake food companies Good Meat and Upside Foods, both backed by billionaire Bill Gates, announced in June last year that the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) approved their fake meat to be sold for general consumption.
