It's crazy to me that they felt the need to include safety instructions lol. Handmade Filet Américain for sure I'd eat same-day or at most next day, but the store-bought variety uses preservatives and can last for 3 days in the fridge no problem.

Americans be acting like beef is like fugu or something, but if fresh raw beef gives you E. Coli you need to be suing people! My understanding is this pathological phobia of raw meat goes back to the mid-20th century where long supply chains and untrustworthy cold chains led to the advice that all meat had to be done well, but that's outdated advice that would not develop nowadays. Red meat just can't go bad that fast at 4°C, so if the supplier is trusrworthy there's no issue.

Brits have kind of the same thing with electrical plugs in bathrooms, they're scared to death of them and you can't convince them it's safe and that the rest of the world does it just fine. Interesting how there are these localized "fear islands" around certain topics that people take for granted.

As far as I understand it, there is actually a feedback loop as well: the beef is treated with chemicals that kill all bacteria, even the neutral ones, leaving an otherwise open breeding ground for unsafe ones to thrive.
