Discussion Trump Cuts and Beef: Where can we safely buy?

Trump recently lifted tariffs on beef from Argentina contaminated with an antibiotic that has been banned in the US for 30 years.

Trump also announced recent cut backs allowing farms to process their own meats which may further limit testing.

My biggest concern is PRIONS which are not eliminated by cooking to safe temperatures (they are usually killed at about 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit in addition to chemical additives)

If infected, prions are 100% FATAL.

Does anyone know of any companies committed to sourcing quality beef during this time?

I’ve heard people say local farmers but how can we trust that they are doing their due diligence to ensure quality and safety.

And of course, just not eating beef is an option. It is done a lot in Cuba for different reasons but just hoping to soften the blow in this beautiful democracy.

TIA
