In 2008, for example, Mexican authorities rejected a U.S. beef shipment because its copper levels exceeded Mexican standards, the audit says. And since there is no current testing of heavy metal toxicity in animal products, apparently this same rejected meat could legally be sold here in the good ol' US! The solution per the FDA? They simply say, "eat less" (which by the way is their solution to eating fish contaminated with mercury).

If USDA & FDA inspected beef is really the high quality that they claim to be, why then did Mexico refuse USDA inspected meat a few years ago, and 160+ countries, including many countries in Europe, still continue to ban US beef today?

So, to answer your question - yes, I would eat meat from Mexico. It's safer, healthier, better.

As you can see, US imports lots of meat from Mexico:

The U.S. is the largest destination for Mexican beef exports and the U.S. share of total Mexican beef exports has increased from around 60 percent a few years ago to 90 percent in 2015.

Doubt that.

Yes, they have, and the average American might be shocked at where some of their foods are coming from nowadays. That's one reason why I'm raising more and more of our own food.

So the question is no longer, 'would you eat beef from Mexico?' but, 'how do you know where the heck your beef (or anything else) is really from?'.

Barf. Cannot stand the stuff. I honestly don't understand how anyone can eat goat cheese. It tastes like dirt. Really. I just don't get it.

then,,,thru the meat wholesaler I worked for.....the first Mexican meat (sukarne) came to maine and was sold

...

the government did away with country of origin labelling,,,so I'm guessing it said sukarne on the packaging or they volunteered to say product of mexico (on the label) as an economical option from their better steaks (prime or choice grade)

Imported beef is nothing new or even recent. Many of the wholesale processors were importing chuck primals from Argentina and Brazil as early as 1998 or so.

Most of the local groceries in Arizona do a great job of country of origin labeling, especially the various ethnic groceries (Mexican and Asian). I saw this much less often in Chicagoland.

I do not see any difference in quality. And the price difference can be substantial with some cuts, especially bagged tenderloins.

As much of my beef consumption is prepared more in the Mexican style (slow cooking), I tend to buy more Mexican beef from carnecerias as those meat markets cut the meat the way I like it as opposed to going to a major supermarket where the meat is often cut off-site.

After going to Mexico and seeing how dirty it is (and maybe not all of it is, but what I saw was dirty and smelled like sewage), I would hesitate to knowingly eat anything that came from Mexico. Although even Oreos are made in Mexico now.

But I don't really trust any food anymore, because I don't think our government really cares what we are eating or how it is affecting our health. There are foods that are banned in other countries that are not banned in America.

This. If I eat meat IN Mexico, which I do, it makes sense that I would eat meat FROM Mexico.
