We often say, "Have you ever eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run?" Under the epidemic, this may soon become a reality?
Today CNN released a message,Saying that supermarkets and grocery stores may have a pork shortage next week,This surprised me and other meat lovers. Sweet and sour pork ribs, and braised pork with rice can't eat it?

Let's see how the food supply affected by this epidemic will affect our lives.
The collapse of the US food supply chain?
Recently, because of the epidemic, many large food processing plants in the United States have fallen.
Tyson Foods, the largest meat processor in the United States, issued a warning statement on Monday (April 4): "The food supply chain is breaking. (The food supply chain is breaking.) The prevalence of has forced the closure of food processing plants, resulting in a shortage of products in grocery stores across the country, and "millions of pounds of meat" will disappear from the supply chain. This may beDestroy the US food supply chain and increase meat prices.
Will the pork be out of stock?
In recent weeks, Tyson Foods, with 10 employees, has been forced to suspend operations at several factories,Tyson mainly processes chicken and pork.

But last week Tyson closed its pork processing plants in Waterloo, Iowa and Logansport, Indiana. The closure of the Waterloo facility was a decision made under public pressure. At that time, production at the facility had slowed down. Many of the 2800 workers had been on sick leave. The cases are linked, and this number accounts for almost half of the county ’s total cases.

The company has now added protective measures, the operating table has a plastic partition,Every worker was required to take a temperature and put on a mask, while disinfecting the work area every day.

As soon as the factory is closed, American farmers have no place to sell chickens, pigs and cattle, and farmers will have to kill tens of thousands of pigs every day. You know, the number of these animals adds up to millions. Continued closures have limited the supply of meat products in supermarkets and grocery stores, which is what CNN refers to when referring to House Agriculture Chairman Peterson:"There will be no meat on the shelves soon."
The affected meat factory is far more than Tyson. The pork processing factory has been particularly hard hit.The three largest pork processing plants in the United States have also entered an indefinite shutdown.In addition to Tyson, Smithfield Foods in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and the JBS pork processing plant in Worthington, Minnesota, were closed. Three of them,Add up to about 15% of pork production.Most of the pork we buy everyday comes from here.
Some American experts reminded thatThe impact of the food supply chain on consumers will lag,Might needA few weeksIn order to clearly feel the impact of supermarket shutdown due to meat shortage.
According to the Washington Times, since the outbreak in the United States, grocery stores have been struggling to fill shelves due to concerns about excessive food for shoppers. Some supermarkets are also suffering from tight supply,As a result, pork and beef prices have increased significantly.
At present, Tyson Foods is giving bonuses to frontline workers and truck drivers for salary increases, hoping to attract them to return to work in this way. It can be seen that now we can only eat and cherish pork, and some consumers then turn their attention to artificial meat. Perhaps it is time to try new foods.
I hope this epidemic will pass quickly, so that we can always wander in the "sweet meat".
