(TheLastPatriotNews.com) – In a shocking revelation, the U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has discovered illegally imported meats from Myanmar (the country formerly known as Burma), with no USDA inspection stamps, across several states, raising serious health concerns.

This alert coincides with widespread meat recalls, including BrucePac’s nearly 12 million pounds affected by possible Listeria contamination.
FSIS has sounded the alarm about various illegally imported meat and poultry products from the Republic of the Union of Myanmar.
These items, distributed in states like Arizona, California, and Texas, are hitting the shelves without the necessary USDA inspection marks.
Such oversights present potential health risks when consumed.
Burma’s meat shipments, including “BEST BEEF CURRY” and “Min Thar Gyi Dried Fish,” found their way into the country, bypassing standard inspection protocols.
FSIS surveillance at a retailer identified these unregulated imports.
Consumers across the nine affected states are advised to discard or return these items, and retailers must cease sales immediately.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ pantries and on retailers’ shelves, The Epoch Times reports.
Retailers who have purchased the products are urged not to sell them.
Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them.
These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
The FSIS alert gains further urgency amid a major recall of BrucePac products, impacting over 200 schools across the nation.
Recent contamination issues have not only affected BrucePac but also food giants like Boar’s Head and McDonald’s, challenging our food safety systems.
The breadth of these problems places the necessity for stringent protocols and proactive monitoring in the spotlight.
Public health experts advise remaining vigilant about food safety measures, such as maintaining proper refrigeration and preventing cross-contamination.
To allay concerns, consumers can contact the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline for guidance and reassurance.
For those who have already ingested these impugned products and are feeling unwell, it is crucial to seek medical advice.
The alarm raised serves as a reminder of the randomness and unpredictability of food safety events.
Such incidents, when they occur more frequently, raise questions about the oversight effectiveness of imported meats and the overall safety of the public’s dining options.
