The USDA does have a rigorous process in place to ensure that imported beef is safe and of the same high-quality as US-produced beef. This process begins before the meat is shipped to the US, with the foreign farm and slaughterhouse needing to meet the same standards of food safety and animal health.
Once the beef arrives in the US, it is subject to the same food safety and inspection requirements as domestic beef. This includes visual inspection and microbial testing for harmful bacteria. The USDA can also conduct additional testing or even reject meat that does not meet the standards.
We can also be sure that US meat is as safe and of the same high-quality as foreign-produced meat, thanks to a strong system of inspections and laboratory testing that is in place throughout the production process and before the meat is shipped to market. As technology advances, the USDA is constantly working to improve the safety and quality of our food.
