USDA recalls 30k pounds of Argentine beef sold in Texas and Florida
The USDA has recalled nearly 30,000 pounds of raw beef imported from Argentina and sold in Texas and Florida, citing missed import re-inspections. The Food Safety and Inspection Service classified the recall as a Class I health hazard, the highest risk level, though no specific contaminant was mentioned. Food safety expert Dr. Darin Detwiler questions the classification, noting the timing coincides with President Trump's announcement to allow more foreign beef imports at reduced prices. The distributor hasn't commented, and retailers haven't been identified.
“It's not like a paperwork thing; you know someone made the decision. This does not have to be reinspected at the border,” Detwiler said.

That's only about 50 cows. This isn't a big recall.
Total slaughter of cows in Texas is about 1.8 million head per year.

Am I the only one that finds the ”30 kilo pounds” quite entertaining?

"Since Trump’s announcement, Detwiler said, online discussion has fueled confusion about what is happening with beef imports and the recall."
Articles like this one aren't exactly helping either.
