Is Beyond Meat beyond the pale? You won’t believe what fake meat is packing

Green agenda advocates across the United States use as one of their talking points the possibilities of fake meat, the lab-grown products that, theoretically would eliminate much of America’s livestock-production industry, saving all that feed and fuel and fertilizer.

Just recently, the Food and Drug Administration determined that a California company’s lab-grown products are safe to eat.

However, the industry is far from being mainstream, as a recent report from Bloomberg pointed out.

That’s because it documented that, “Photos and internal documents from a Beyond Meat Inc. plant in Pennsylvania show apparent mold, Listeria and other food-safety issues, compounding problems at a factory the company had expected to play a major role in its future.”

The report said, “Products from the plant tested positive for Listeria, a harmful bacteria, on at least 11 occasions during the second half of last year and the first half of 2022, according to an internal document provided by a former employee concerned about conditions at the plant. The occurrence of the bacteria at the facility was confirmed by two former employees, who asked not to be named discussing private information about the company. While Listeria is frequently present at food plants, it’s more unusual for it to be found in the products themselves.”

According to a Western Journal report on the situation, the documents and photographs from the plant in Philadelphia “paint a picture of dangerous conditions with possible repercussions for consumers.”
