And if it came from Argentina like everyone is suspecting, it might be contaminated. It’s not like he’d care if it was.
China rejects Argentine beef due to chloramphenicol: investigation and internal consumption crisis
On March 19, the General Administration of Customs of China suspended a shipment of 22 tons of beef from the slaughterhouse ArreBeef in Pérez Millán (Buenos Aires), after detecting the presence of chloramphenicol, an antibiotic banned in Argentine livestock production since 1995 due to its risks to human health.
The measure raised concerns in the agro-export chain and immediately activated diplomatic and technical channels between both countries.
Nice investigative work - this is the first I’ve heard about the contamination. It looks like China caught the issue back in March, and its highly likely more of the supply chain was compromised. This would make it subject to further Chinese boycotts, endangering the Argentian economy and screwing Milei because it makes things bumpy for Peter Thiel in his new home.
This is why Trump is both helping Milei and refusing to say where the beef is from.
Serious and fatal blood dyscrasias (aplastic anemia, hypoplastic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and granulocytopenia) are known to occur after the administration of chloramphenicol.
There have been reports of aplastic anemia attributed to chloramphenicol which later terminated in leukemia.
Blood dyscrasias have occurred after both short-term and prolonged therapy with this drug.

Btw, these are the side effects of chloramphenicol:
To be clear, I didn’t do the investigative work. It was linked in the original Raw Story article: https://www.rawstory.com/beef-import-2677774264/
These days reading the article counts as research. Have an extra upvote for honesty tho ;)
