The last major E. coli beef recall wasn’t small.
It involved hundreds of thousands of pounds of ground beef pulled from the market.

Here’s what matters.

Ground beef is produced in a commingled system — meaning domestic and imported beef can be mixed together before final product ever reaches consumers.

Once that happens:
• The source of contamination is harder to trace
• Accountability is diluted
• And American beef takes the reputational hit, regardless of origin

If full reinspection had occurred at the port of entry, contaminated product — domestic or foreign — could have been identified before commingling ever happened.

Instead, inspection was deferred.
And consumers lost confidence in U.S. beef, even though the contamination could have originated outside the United States.

That’s the flaw in the system.

Food safety failures don’t just harm consumers —
They damage trust in American ranchers who played by the rules.

Full inspection at the border isn’t protectionism.
It’s prevention.

Risk-Based Inspection sounds smart.
Until you look at how it’s actually being used.

Under Risk-Based Inspection, USDA shifted from inspecting every lot of imported beef to inspecting only what it predicts might be risky — based on models, past performance, and paperwork.

That’s the problem.

Food safety isn’t theoretical.
Risk doesn’t announce itself in advance.
And imported beef deserves the same inspection standard as domestic beef.

The law already requires:
• Reinspection at the port of entry
• Verification of product and markings
• Accountability — not assumptions

Risk-Based Inspection replaces certainty with guesswork.

This isn’t modernization.
It’s deregulation by another name.

And it creates a double standard American ranchers never get.

BREAKING: Voluntary “Product of USA” Labeling Is Official!

Today, the long-awaited voluntary Product of USA labeling rule officially takes effect.

What changes?
- Nothing
- Nada
- Zilch

Companies may label beef as Product of USA.
They also may keep selling imported, commingled beef with no clear origin disclosure at all.

Consumers still don’t know.
Ranchers still lose.
And the same loopholes stay wide open — now with a shiny press release.

But hey… at least it sounds patriotic.

Thanks, United States Department of Agriculture — for proving that “voluntary” is just another word for “optional accountability.”

If labeling is optional, transparency is too. And that’s the problem.

Most people have never heard of it — but National Hand Tool v. United States (1992) is one of the clearest rulings on origin.

The company imported foreign-made tool components and did finishing and assembly here in the U.S.

They argued the U.S. work created a new, U.S.-origin product.

The court said no.
- Assembly is not enough
- Minor finishing is not enough
- The “essential character” was created abroad

So the origin stayed foreign, even though the final product came together in the United States.

The same principle applies to beef:

Cutting, grinding, trimming, or repackaging foreign beef here does NOT make it a U.S. product.

The courts have said this for decades — USDA policy says something very different.
