US Meat 'Is Poisonous' Says Russia And Rejects Imports

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Ractopamine is banned in 160 Countries including China,yet the the FDA says it is safe for humans?

Studies show ractopamines severe negative effects on pigs .According to thefern.org[218,116 pigs have been evaluated in adverse reports submitted to the agency. The top ten most frequently reported signs were, “Death, Recumbency, Lameness, Hyperactivity, Reluctant To Move, Stiffness, Trembling, Dyspnea, Collapse, and Hoof Disorder.”] And we are eating this meat.If it’s doing this to pigs, you know it could have disasterous health consequences for human consumption.

U.S. meat supplies to Russia have been banned. The Russian Federation and the United States differ in the assessment of the causes of the situation. Russia claims that the reason for the ban was the presence of ractopamine drug in US meat. America insists that Russia’s actions were a response to the adoption of the Magnitsky Act by the Senate and accuses Russia of violating WTO rules.

On December 7, 2012 Russia’s Federal Agency for Agricultural Control, Rosselhohznadzor, banned the imports of meat containing ractopamine. This is a food additive that allows to reduce the content of fat in beef and pork. The drug is added to food so that animals grow the muscle mass instead of fat. According to researchers, ractopamine affects the human cardiovascular system, and in some cases can cause food poisoning. This drug is banned for use in 160 countries, including China and Russia. It is allowed in 24 countries, including Canada and the United States. Codex Alimentarius of the World Health Organization, adopted in July 2012 in Rome by representatives of 186 countries, allows the contents of ractopamine in meat.

Formally, Russia does not prohibit the delivery of pork and beef from the United States. It only notified a number of countries, including the US of A, of the need to provide documents saying that animals had not been fed ractopamine – the drug that is banned in Russia. However, the warned countries (in addition to the U.S. the list includes Canada, Brazil and Mexico and excludes 20 countries where the drug is used) do not have the appropriate expertise, because there was no need to have it before. Rosselkhoznadzor promised to introduce a transitional period for those countries, until about the end of January 2013. However, specific implementation mechanisms remain unclear.

As for foreign countries, the move of the Russian Agency for Agricultural Control will hit the United States most. Russia is the fourth largest importer of U.S. meat and spends about $500 million a year on it. The Russian market consumes 0.6 percent of all beef and 1.4 percent of pork produced in the United States. More than 200 containers of meat products worth about $20 million are currently on their way to Russia from the United States.

      • Mayhem

        I come from a land down under too!

        KIWI!

        We did get caught out on our 100% clean and green claim though. :oops: Perhaps we should have said 99.99% but it just doesn’t look right in the adverts does it. :lol:

    • whitebear

      Grass fed is quickly becoming the choice for many here in the US.
      Though the feedlot cow still reigns supreme among the misinformed and uncaring.

      • Mayhem

        Hello whitebear….

        Sadly true ain’t it? We the sheeple are known to go against our conscience when the price difference is as little as 10% and often less than that. What happened to voting with our wallets?

        Please don’t nobody wail at me about how tough times are. Our situation today is exactly how we allowed it to become. None of us has anyone to blame but ourselves.

      I had no clue this stuff even existed. It is to the point we need to produce what we eat these days. We have our own cows, grow 2 gardens, but it looks like I need to get my own hogs too.

      I never thought I’d live to see the day that Russia and other countries cared more for their people’s welfare than the USA. Or maybe I just woke up.

    • Joerg Klaemt

      Now I know the Reason why my Butcher said that he can no longer get Fat BACON only very lean stuff ,its all because the stupid sheeples are demanding low Fat food thinking that this is healthy while they go and pig out on french fries.
      D U M B …….made in U.S.A. Glad the Russians are looking after their folks.

      • Bargepole

        Get real. That came from Pravda. They’re not talking health, they’re talking money.

    • Bargepole

      BIN – bring back the sadontallha (aka susan, jennifer, sandra etc etc) spam, or my comment is meaningless! Please! Bring meaning back into my life!

    • Gojiroiscoming

      This is the most informative piece of news I’ve read here in months.

      Most Americans have no clue as to the enourmous quanities of garbage, toxins, antibiotics, drugs, hormones, and other animal abuses done in the name of profit…at the expense of your health.

      Ignorance reigns.

      • Mayhem

        Sadly true that. Willful ignorance is endemic.

        I’m definitely not one to get started on animal welfare issues because I’ll uncover an inter-generational horror story that is exposed by strong and mounting evidence.

        Peta? Turn your backs on this one folks. I’ll truth this outfit till their heads spin if they accept my challenge.

        SPCA? Another organization who can not withstand scrutiny of their real agenda let alone their true lack of benevolence to animals.

        Learn every truth you can, and there are many, then tell everyone and damn the consequences.

    • Mayhem

      Ractopamine is banned in 160 Countries! Another way to say this would be.

      RACTOPAMINE IS BANNED IN OVER 80% OF THE WORLD!

      Just wanted to biff a little perspective into the blend and mention that it looks like nearly every country on earth cares more about it’s people and food animals than America does. :razz:

      Take these truths and shove them down your politicians/bureaucrat’s throats.
