A calf at a ranch in Texas tested positive on Wednesday for the flesh-eating parasite, the first case confirmed in Texas since 1966.

Could be imported from somewhere safer than Texas, but surely people prefer life / safety than they want a specific meal?

    Most people don't care where their meat comes from. No one is out there ordering Texas specific steaks. Consumers notice when the price goes up. I don't know the stats for Canada. They may not import much from Texas anyway. I know Canada is already very protective in dairy but I don't know about beef.
