A San Antonio processor tested store-bought ground beef. Over 80 cows in one pack. Most weren’t even American — imported from Brazil, Africa, wherever was cheapest. I promise that USDA stamp ain’t what you think it is. USA? Far from it… CONSUMERS WANT THEIR BEEF LABELED!

USDA Allows 'Product of USA' Labels On Grass Fed Beef That Never Lived On American Soil. Almost 90% Of American Market Grass Fed Beef Is Imported From 20+ Foreign Countries. Once The Foreign Meat Enters The US, Repackaging It Makes It 'Legal' To Qualify As A 'Product Of USA.' The elimination of country of origin labeling for meat caused American producers’ share of the grass fed cattle market to decline from 60% to less than 15% in just a few years. In 2015, the Obama administration’s USDA rolled back Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) for beef & pork products, allowing meat to be sold without disclosing what country it came from, on the label. Under current rules, beef & pork products that are shipped to the United States can be labeled “product of U.S.A.,” even when the animal was raised on another continent. A steer that is born, raised & processed in Uruguay can be cut into steaks or ground up & repackaged at a meatpacking plant in Colorado & is labeled as American meat—even when it isn’t. "The very idea of labeling beef in a grocery store ‘product of U.S.A.,’ when the animal never drew a breath of air on this continent, is just horrible,” says Will Harris, owner of White Oak Pastures, which produces its branded line of grass-fed beef in Bluffton, Georgia." "I don’t begrudge importers or producers from other countries selling to knowing consumers that want to buy that imported product. But I’m appalled at what the deception has done to the economies of our ranchers." Imported grass fed beef brands are taking advantage of a legal ambiguity—& some are downright deceptive. 3 powerful meatpackers...JBS, Tyson & Cargill, are deceptively using the law that allows use of the “Product of USA” label even when the beef & pork was born, raised & processed in a foreign country. Once the meat enters the U.S. it undergoes repackaging or what the USDA refers to as 'value added.' 'Value Added' is a loophole term that if the foreign beef & pork has been sliced, cut, ground or repackaged on American soil, then it is legally labeled as 'product of the USA.' Now, more than ever, it is crucial for our health & in support of American farmers & ranchers...to buy local, to purchase from small reputable butcher shops & to order from online grass fed beef shipping ranchers. 👇USDA Food Labeling Policy Book👇 👇Foreign Meat Contamination Found In US👇 👇Imported Beef Found To Be Contaminated👇 Speakers: Will & Jenni Harris of White Oak Pastures Video: Investearnsave Podcast: Joe Rogan

“The benefit to the meatpackers today, when they do not have to disclose the origins of beef, is they can put beef in the meat counter from Brazil, Argentina… or from any one of the 20 countries we import beef from.” “And then they can sell that…right next to a domestic product and sell it as if it was a domestic product.” “Consumers are not choosing to buy the cheaper imported product.” “They do not know.” “In fact, that product is disguised as if it were a domestic product.” R-CALF USA CEO Bill Bullard breaks down how the lack of Mandatory Country-of-Origin Labeling (MCOOL) gives imported beef an advantage while leaving Americans in the dark about what they’re buying. American ranchers should not have to compete against cheaper imported beef that consumers cannot clearly distinguish from beef raised here at home. Consumers deserve to know where their beef was born, raised, and slaughtered before they spend their money. Restoring MCOOL gives Americans that choice while allowing our ranchers to compete on a level playing field. R-CALF USA Lonesome Lands

I got the chance to talk to an Certified Angus Beef rep and here's something that might interest you. Regular tube ground beef is up to 40% cheek and head meat with a USDA cap of 25% on cheek meat. Ever wonder why some ground beef really needs sauce and seasoning to hook it up? That's why. Ground beef made from neck down is so much more flavorful. Buy it if you can afford it. Or grind it yourself. You can use a food processor and grind up your own ground beef. Chop a chuck roast or even short ribs up into tiny pieces and pulse it until fine in your processor. You can really taste the difference! This is short rib in the video below.

American cooks grocery store ground beef side by side with ground beef from a local farmers - The color is very different - How it cooks is very different - How it browns, changes color while cooking and smell is different - The finished product of the grocery store beef has an almost translucent look and also has a texture more like Play-Doh “That one, obviously, is the one from the local farmer. Smells amazing, looks great, has great color. I mean, it's not even a comparison” The difference is the way cows can move, their diet, their nutrient density I have also been getting farmer ground beef as well and let me just say there is absolutely no comparison to grocery store ground beef. The grocery store beef is so obviously processed and ‘fake tasting’ once you have real ground beef We need to go back to smaller local farms and completely rethink how we manage our food supply

Bill Bullard just explained how meat packers hide imported beef from 20 countries behind a USDA inspection sticker and sell it right next to domestic product as if it was raised here. 30,000 pounds of uninspected beef from Argentina hit Florida and Texas grocery shelves this month. Under current law, consumers have no way to know where their beef was born, raised, or slaughtered. Packers profit from the deception. They source cheaper foreign beef, mark it with a USDA stamp, and price it right next to the real thing. You pay the same. The rancher back home gets undercut. Mandatory country of origin labeling passed the Senate Ag Committee 17-6. The House blocked it. The same packers who fought MCOOL in 2015 are fighting it again today. Lonesome Lands Jim Mundorf

Over 11 years ago ABC News broadcasted that America’s food was fake to maximize profits and poisonous. Today nothings changed ABC produced a whistleblower who was a former USDA Scientist exposing 70% of what we call beef is actually pink slime and then it’s sprayed with ammonia “A startling ABC News investigation. A whistleblower has come forward to tell consumers about the ground beef a lot of us buy at the supermarket. Is it what we think it is or is it padded with a filler the whistleblower calls pink slime?” “This former USDA scientist, now whistleblower, knows that 70 percent of the ground beef we contained something he calls pink slime. ‌ Beef trimmings that were once used only in dog food and cooking oil, now sprayed with ammonia to make them safe to eat, and then added to most ground beef as a cheaper filler. It was Zernstein who in a USDA memo first coined the term pink slime, and is now coming forward to say he won't buy it. ‌ It's economic fraud. It's not fresh ground beef. It's a cheap substitute being added in.” Exposes that the Government overruled warning consumers that certain ingredients are being used and their dangerous side effects “Their government bosses overruled them.” “The mixture is sent through pipes where it's sprayed with ammonia gas to kill bacteria and finally compressed into bricks and flash frozen for shipment to meat packers and grocery stores where it's added to most ground beef. And it doesn't have to appear on the label because over objections of its own scientists, USDA officials” The use of pink slime has gone down a bit in America because of people raising awareness but it’s still very much used today and definitely in some of your grocery store beef

American rancher explains why Walmart and large retailer hamburger is cheaper “Why is the hamburger so much cheaper to Walmart or a big box store? They mix a lot of trim, the trimmings from other meats, other beefs from Brazil or other countries. They'll bring that in. That stuff comes in at $2 a pound or less. And they grind it with the American hamburger. Call it all American. I don't think they have to put that in the label and sell it as American hamburger.” They don’t. Under current U.S. regulations as of 2026, retailers and suppliers do not have to label ground beef (including hamburger) with country of origin information, even if it includes trimmings or meat imported from other countries like Brazil.

The label says “Product of USA.” That doesn’t mean what you think it does. This is exactly why ranchers are disappearing… and why Americans don’t know where their food comes from anymore. We’re taking it back. The American Rancher Alliance is rebuilding a transparent, American-controlled beef supply chain — from ranch to grocery store. No more blind trust. 👉 If you care about your food, now is the time.

🚨 TRUMP REFUSES TO SAY WHERE AMERICA’S NEW CHEAP BEEF IS COMING FROM — AND NOW AMAZON IS SELLING IT FOR $1.99 Trump was directly asked which countries would be supplying the cheaper beef he’s been promising Americans. His answer? “I don’t want to say which countries.” Now people are raising eyebrows after Amazon advertised ground beef for just $1.99 a pound... dramatically cheaper than what many Americans are used to seeing at the grocery store. And the internet immediately went down the rabbit hole. Some are questioning where beef this cheap comes from, while others are going much further, claiming it might not even be real beef. Between soaring beef prices, Trump's refusal to identify the countries involved, and people suddenly seeing $1.99 ground beef advertised online, you already know the internet is going to ask questions. Would YOU buy $1.99 ground beef without knowing exactly where it came from?

Mandatory Country Of Origin Labeling on beef was rescinded in 2015, and since that time, American shelves have been flooded with beef labeled "Product of the USA," despite the fact that it was from animals born, raised and slaughtered overseas. It appears that after the first of this coming year, "Product of USA" will once again mean that the animals were born, raised and slaughtered in the United States of America. Unfortunately, this is not a mandatory ruling, so no country of origin is required to be put on the label. It is our hope that this small change will once again allow American farmers to differentiate domestic product from imported product.

WHERE DID YOUR BEEF COME FROM? When you buy beef at the grocery store, do you actually know what country it came from? Fifth generation Texas cattle rancher Shad Sullivan joins Lara Logan to explain Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling (MCOOL) and why he believes American consumers should know whether the beef they are buying came from the United States or was imported from countries such as Mexico, Brazil or Argentina. Shad explains how imported beef enters the United States with documentation identifying its country of origin, but changes made in 2015 ended federal mandatory country-of-origin labeling requirements for beef and pork at retail. In Episode 97 of Going Rogue with Lara Logan, Lara and Shad examine foreign beef imports, country-of-origin labeling, the concentration of the beef-processing industry, the decline of the American cattle herd, threats to private property rights and what the loss of independent ranchers could mean for America’s food security and sovereignty.

One of my exchanges with Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins -- on 🥩 imports: Me: I haven't been able to find an ag group or a Republican lawmaker who is supporting the president's announcement about importing beef to lower prices. Why do this in the face of very widespread criticism? Secretary Brooke Rollins: "The president made the decision that, for a short 90 days, there's a lot of ground beef -- this is just ground beef -- there's a lot of ground beef that's sitting in other countries that would potentially help serve Americans, especially lower-income Americans who really lean into -- 'lean into' -- the lean ground beef. And so this is a very short-term fix from the president's perspective, that he believed necessary to get lower cost beef onto American plates." Me: Where is the U.S. importing this beef from? Secretary Brooke Rollins: "I will be very transparent in that is over at [the office of] U.S. Trade Rep. I am actually not part of any of those conversations, so I am not sure what that looks like. I think we'll know very soon."

American Ranchers Are Desperately Trying To Educate The American People That They Are Being Replaced By Foreign Imports Thanks To Lobbyists Selling Them Out Legally a “Product of the USA can now be imported from overseas — The US cattle industry is at an all time low” “There's some interesting and concerning stuff happening in the US cattle industry. Did you know meat is being imported into the US from overseas and being marketed as a product of the USA? The US cattle industry is at an all time low. It's a result of things like extreme drought, beef cost rising, and inflation. Cattle prices are at an all time high, which drives the price of beef. But this isn't necessarily a good thing for ranchers. This just means the 4 large corporations who control 85 percent of the US beef market, 2 of them Brazilian owned, will import meat from other countries where they can source it cheaper. And because of our own laws, if it is repackaged in any way, it can be labeled product of the USA. This is especially unsettling for ground beef that can come from multiple countries, from different ages, and different breeds of older cows that any sort of untraceable diet. That shrimp can be frozen for who knows how long and imported in droves, then thawed and mixed in a large vat in a large processing plant with literally hundreds of different DNA samples landing in 1 pound of ground beef. Importing and exporting is not the problem. Americans like their hamburger, but not their heart. Traditional export markets are good for ranchers to get a premium for the unusual cuts that are more widely desired in foreign markets. But the American consumer deserves to know where their meat comes from and how it was raised. And there is an answer. Buy directly from a rancher in the USA. Find a ranch you can buy direct from locally or one who ships to your doorstep and start ordering now and trusting the source of the food you feed your family.”

Your Food Is Fake, It’s Manufactured To Maximize Profits & It’s Borderline Poisonous. Some Of America’s Food Is So Bad It’s Banned In 30 Countries “And now a startling ABC News investigation. A whistleblower has come forward to tell consumers about the ground beef a lot of us buy at the supermarket. Is it what we think it is or is it padded with a filler the whistleblower calls pink slime?” “ABC's senior national correspondent Jim Avella set out to get answers. Gerald Zernstein grinds his own hamburger these days. Why? Because this former USDA scientist, now whistleblower, knows that 70 percent of the ground beef we contained something he calls pink slime. ‌ Beef trimmings that were once used only in dog food and cooking oil, now sprayed with ammonia to make them safe to eat, and then added to most ground beef as a cheaper filler. It was Zernstein who in a USDA memo first coined the term pink slime, and is now coming forward to say he won't buy it. ‌ It's economic fraud. It's not fresh ground beef. It's a cheap substitute being added in. Zernstein and his fellow USDA scientist Carl Custer both warned against using what the industry calls lean, finely textured beef and is widely known now as pink slime. But their government bosses overruled them. Why didn't you consider it beef? Because it was a salvage product. Leftovers been heated at low temperature and the excess fat spun out. Here's how it's done. Those waste trimmings are gathered, simmered at low heat to make it easier to separate fat from muscle, put in a centrifuge and spun to finish the separation. ‌ Next, the mixture is sent through pipes where it's sprayed with ammonia gas to kill bacteria and finally compressed into bricks and flash frozen for shipment to meat packers and grocery stores where it's added to most ground beef. And it doesn't have to appear on the label because over objections of its own scientists, USDA officials with links to the beef industry labeled pink slime meat. The undersecretary said, it's pink, therefore it's meat. ‌ ABC News has learned the woman who made the decision to okay the mix is former undersecretary of agriculture Joanne Smith, millions of dollars for Beef Products Inc., the makers of pink slime. When Smith stepped down from USDA, BPI's principal supplier appointed her to the board of directors, where she made at least $1.2 million over 17 years. She did not return our calls for comment. BPI says it had nothing to do with her appointment, and the USDA says while legal then, under current ethics rules, she could not have immediately joined that board. ‌ Jim Avila, ABC News, Washington.”

Now this is CRAZY American bought 2 packs of cupcakes. One from Sprouts made with real ingredients and one from a regular grocery store. She left them outside. The one from Sprouts is COVERED in ants, the grocery store pack of cupcakes doesn’t have a single ant or bug anywhere near it We are literally being poisoned. Even the bugs won’t touch it. This is fake food.
