The meat you’re eating is fake. There are only 4 meat packing companies in the US that pack and ship 85% of all Meat found in grocery stores and restaurants. Tyson Foods, JBS, Cargill, and National Beef. Most of the smaller meat packing plants are also owned by these companies, and/or their associates. They all support and invest into bioengineered meat, and can legally sell it to you as real, non-GMO products, without your consent or knowledge. “Bioengineered” means many things. It could be synthetic material, gound bugs, recycled waste, genetically engineered, or whatever they can convince the FDA to ignore with a bit of hush money. FSIS regulates bioengineered products, not the FDA. They aren’t even hiding it anymore. You can google it and find these exact quotes right now.
“JBS has a multifaceted stance on bioengineered food, actively investing in cultivated (cell-based) protein technologies while simultaneously offering certain conventional products that are certified as non-GMO”
“Tyson Foods uses genetically modified (GM) grains like corn and soy in its animal feed and some products, acknowledging these are safe as supported by health organizations, but focuses less on GMO labeling and more on sustainability claims, recently settling lawsuits to stop unsupported "net-zero" and "climate-smart" beef marketing, while investing in alternative protein technologies. Their stance is pragmatic: using GMOs for efficiency while investing in future tech and facing scrutiny over environmental claims”
“Cargill's stance is that bioengineered (GMO) foods are safe, essential for feeding the world sustainably, and a key tool for innovation, while also recognizing consumer demand for non-GMO options and providing those choices through their Non-GMO Project Verified ingredients. They support biotechnology but differentiate this from supporting anti-GMO groups, clarifying their commitment to GMO science while offering diverse products to meet market needs, a position that balances scientific belief with consumer choice and business strategy, as seen in their statements”
“The "National Beef Packing" industry, under the USDA's National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard (NBFDS), is exempt from mandatory Bioengineered (BE) labeling for its core meat products (beef, poultry, eggs) because these are regulated by the USDA's FSIS, not the FDA, and fall under specific exemptions. While companies can't label non-BE meat derived from animals fed BE feed as "GMO-free," beef producers generally focus on compliant labeling for other ingredients, and the industry's stance is driven by regulatory compliance and consumer demand for transparency (often through organic or other non-GMO certifications) rather than a unified, public "stance" on the technology itself, with many studies showing no safety issues with BE feed.”
