IMPORTANT- Contaminated Veggie Burgers!
If you have veggie burgers or any other type of imitation meats of any kind, please throw them out immediately!
The contamination and dangerous molds found at a "Beyond Meat" factory is really scary. But most importantly, it's bringing needed awareness to this situation. And when it comes to all other similar brands as well. You'll understand why by the end of this article.
Below is a link to a video on Odysee that goes into more detail about the whole situation. It's not from my own channel, but is a source that I trust completely.
"YUM! The Beyond Meat Contamination Scandal"
A Bloomberg article exposed documents & photos That were received from a whistleblower that used to work for the company called "Beyond Meat" which makes imitation meat burgers a.k.a. veggie burgers.
The whistleblower could no longer 'stomach' the situation at the factory and had to leave. The employee was very concerned about the safety of the food because of the horrible conditions found there at a factory in Pennsylvania. So they felt compelled to warn the public.
Within the last 6 months of last year, there were 11 occasions when the food had tested positive for Listeria !!
The mildew that you can see in the photos should be enough to close the factory down alone....
Here is a link to their Twitter post where Bloomberg shares a few pictures that should terrify anyone that eats veggie burgers!
( The image below is my own screenshot of those pictures.... )
As you can see, there's a very dark and possibly 'black mold' growing on the walls of the factory that has obviously been there for a very long time. This amount of mold would have to grow over several months at least I think. Which shows how little they really care about the environment in which they're making their food.
But here's the bigger & more important issue....
Meats & canned foods are regulated a lot more aggressively than the ingredients that are found in these veggie burgers & other imitation meats.
Because of this, they're much safer to eat. It's sad to see that a company that makes food for the public could be so careless with the public's health and actually puting their lives in danger.
Yet that is the situation that we have to deal with. Companies just can't be trusted. Because they tend to take advantage of whatever they can get away with. Regardless of the consequences or how it may effect other people.
This is why regulations are so important. Especially when it comes to food.
I know I have just mentioned one company here, but I can guarantee you that most of these companies are going to have similar conditions. And of course it's because of the lack of regulations.
So until that changes, PLEASE do not eat them!
Please help spread the word or at least warn your loved ones not to eat them either.
Less processed foods are much more healthy for you anyway... :)
Thanks for reading.
