This isn’t true, is it?
“More than half of the fresh red meat imported to the U.S. comes from Canada, according to the Department of Agriculture. Canada is also a significant supplier of poultry and prepared meats, which includes processed meats like smoked sausage and cured ham. Plus, Canada is the largest exporter of seafood to the U.S., particularly when it comes to shellfish.”
Canada provides most of the fresh red meat Americans eat? That doesn’t sound right.
"imported to the U.S." are the key words. Most fresh meat is home-gown.
26% of the lean ground meats are imported. I don’t know the overall number but it seems about 25% total is imported. I live in PA and most beef is from central and eastern PA. I only see imported beef when it’s expensive lean cuts like filet.
USDA tracks such imports.
