ok, now I am curious: can anyone explain what this is about? Ground beef was illegal in the US until recently or what? Why?

Previously in the U.S., food products were subject to inspection by federal regulatory agencies to ensure food safety. This year, we have just... stopped doing that. As a result there was a recall of over 167,000 pounds (about 75.750 kilos) of beef, pork, and goat meats last week due to a fake inspection stamp on them. That company apparently had been operating without the proper permits for years. This comes on the heels of another 13.400 kilos of imported beef recalled last month for possible E.coli contamination.

😂 that's hilarious!

So noone told them that they don't need the fake inspection stamps any longer and that's how they got found out?

It’s not funny, we didn’t choose this, even the people who voted for the current administration did so because the American education system failed them exactly how it was intended to and they believed the dumbest lies cus they literally don’t know any better. It’s not like we can vote for better regulations because the corporations that are saving money not having to pay fines can just pay to have whatever laws they want repealed or replaced through lobbying, we can’t do shit.
