Trump floated letting ranchers process meat without USDA inspection, alarming food safety experts, as the USDA simultaneously recalled 30,000 pounds of imported Argentine beef distributed to Texas and Florida.
Trump floated eliminating USDA inspection requirements and letting ranchers process meat on their own, a move that alarmed food safety experts. The timing is striking: the USDA simultaneously recalled 30,000 pounds of imported Argentine beef over safety concerns and traced it to Texas and Florida retailers.
Removing inspection just as contaminated meat enters the supply chain looks reckless at best. The Argentine recall shows that imported meat already carries safety risks when it's under inspection. Without USDA oversight, there's no system catching problems until people get sick. The two moves together—loosening rules while recalling unsafe meat—suggest either the administration isn't paying attention to its own agencies or it's willing to accept that trade-off.
