A video is going viral today making a frightening claim – Tennessee Walmarts are removing food from the shelves and refusing to sell to customers trying to feed their families!?
Let’s see if we can get to the bottom of this. First off, here’s the video that is going viral to begin with. The video (below) was uploaded by “Savage Daughter” last night, and the original video now has over 3 MILLION views in less than 24 hours. (I’ll embed the full-screen vid first for easier viewing.)

With all the information (some true, some on the decidedly sketchy side) swirling about the Federal response to hurricane victims in the area — and in many instances confirmed cases of Federal authorities hindering legitimate rescue and relief operations — it’s not hard to figure out why this video garnered so much attention so fast.
Here’s some of the relevant information uploaded that seems to corroborate the seemingly nefarious nature of the alleged incident she described in the first video.

Something is going on in Collierville Tennessee. Walmart is removing all meats, cheese and eggs from the shelves, and refuses to sell it to customers. Forced starvation? https://t.co/s5WKze1yWW

Walmart is removing all meat and dairy products from its stores. Employees got message saying they are not allowed to sell it! What's up? Bird Flu or Marburg Virus just in time for the election? 😮🤔🙄😢😡🙏 https://t.co/4BLSJ5aplf

So what’s the truth? I did some digging, and I believe I have the answers. While I have seen quite a few stories since Hurricane Helene hit that prove to me beyond any reasonable doubt that there HAS IN FACT BEEN AN INTENTIONAL EFFORT ON THE PART OF THE BIDEN-KAMALA ADMINISTRATION, DHS, AND FEMA TO ACTIVELY HINDER RECOVERY AND RESCUE EFFORTS FOR THOSE IN THE AREAS OF HURRICANE HELENE’S DESTRUCTION… this is not one of those instances. Or, at the very least, it isn’t obvious that it is, compared to some of the other instances.
Let’s break the situation down, starting with this post uploaded just a few days ago, pointing out that North Carolina Walmarts are also removing food items from their shelves.
She is showing the empty aisles of the refrigerated foods: the rest of the store appears stocked.
I would guess that this Walmart lost power and the food spoiled, so it was removed. Or am I missing something. https://t.co/qGnvoxYFXu— The Tilting Turtle🐢 (@MisterFish7) October 4, 2024
There are actually several things contributing to these situation of missing meat and dairy, in particular. In the previous post the author hit on exactly what had happened — the refrigerated products (meat and dairy in particular) had spoiled during days without power, and had simply been removed for safety reasons and has yet to be restocked.
But there are other instances that I can confirm are happening for different reasons, like this instances from a few days ago in Florida:
Panicked customers empty shelves of Florida Walmart amid port strike fears https://t.co/nJ9dVfejC9 pic.twitter.com/PHWYVYCSm2
— WFLA NEWS (@WFLA) October 4, 2024
While the strike fears can not account for all the instances being reported, there are multiple incidents in Florida in particular of Walmart stores being wiped clean leading up to the now temporarily-averted port strike. There are also reports from Florida of stores emptying out their perishable items in anticipation of an extended period without electricity. We can debate the ethical nature of that decision, but it doesn’t “seem” to be nefarious on the part of the Federal government — at least as far as I can tell.
But that doesn’t answer all the questions. There are still instances, like in our original viral video, of store employees at multiple locations actually removing GOOD FOOD (primarily meat and dairy, it seems) and literally refusing to sell the unspoiled food to customers in that moment.
And that is where I stumbled on some news about an ongoing listeria outbreak. And on one hand, this has been a developing story for a few months with ongoing investigations now leading to several food plants just now being shut down. On the other hand — that is very suspicious timing in my opinion to finally be getting around to shutting down food plants. In any case, here’s some of what I found that is contributing to these incidents, particularly those in Tennessee.

I want you to pay special attention to this next post that was uploaded on Aug. 28th at the height of the focus on Boars Head brand.
We're now up to 57 hospitalizations and 8 deaths reported from listeria outbreak linked to recalled Boars Head meats, according to the CDC.

Here’s the full text from the previous post on X.com :
We’re now up to 57 hospitalizations and 8 deaths reported from listeria outbreak linked to recalled Boars Head meats, according to the CDC. “This is the largest listeriosis outbreak since the 2011 outbreak linked to cantaloupe.” However, this may be a strategic takedown of Boars Head by BlackRock. Keep an eye on BlackRock’s Secondaries and Liquidity Solutions group. BlackRock has had their eyes on Boars Head for sometime now. Was BlackRock behind the push for DEI to be instituted at Boars Head, led to change in normal facility SOPs? “Boar’s Head is part of the Tent Coalition for Refugees in the U.S., exploring hiring, training, and mentoring opportunities for refugees”
The problem is, like so many other instances that get caught up in the swirl of information warfare at the moment, there are legitimate red flags all over this. The moment you connect the dots to Blackrock, I’m suspicious. I have done enough research to know that dismissing the Blackrock narrative without proper due diligence is a bad idea. Blackrock IS an evil entity conspiring AGAINST most of what you or I would consider to be good and Godly – in my opinion.
So even while parts of it can be explained away, there remains enough of a question about potential nefarious undercurrents that I, for one, can’t simply dismiss it as “aw… you’re just a conspiracy theorist”. No — I’m a conspiracy REALIST, at this point.
I also found this:
FDA says the listeria was discovered during routine product testing.https://t.co/wYmgj0FwdO
— WSB Radio (@wsbradio) October 9, 2024
According to that report by 95.5 WSB news talk radio out of Atlanta, another 10 million pounds of meat is just now being recalled over — you guessed it — listeria fears.
Nearly 10 million pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products are being recalled because they may be contaminated with listeria.
The meat is from BrucePac out of Durant, Oklahoma, but was shipped nationwide. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), the company is recalling 9,986,245 pounds of the product.
FDA says the listeria was discovered during routine product testing.
The ready-to-eat meat and poultry items were produced from June to October 8.
The these products were shipped to establishments and distributors nationwide and then distributed to restaurants and institutions. Restaurants, institutions, and other establishments are urged not to serve or use these products.

On top of the social media posts that are beginning to recognize a link (even if it doesn’t completely satisfy all our questions…) to the Tennessee Walmart locations removing meat and cheese products, I am also finding stories and press releases that create a clear link between the listeria outbreak (real, imagined, or overhyped though it may be) and the memo’s that Walmart stores received directing them to remove meat and cheese items from their shelves.
Though I do not personally trust the USDA more than I do, say, the FBI… they do hold sway in this arena, and they have issued this alert, just today:
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9, 2024 – BrucePac, a Durant, Okla. establishment, is recalling approximately 9,986,245 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) meat and poultry products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
ADVERTISEMENTThe ready-to-eat meat and poultry items were produced from June 19, 2024, to October 8, 2024. These products were shipped to other establishments and distributors nationwide then distributed to restaurants and institutions. Information regarding product labels and the list of products will be provided when available.
The products subject to recall bear establishment numbers “51205 or P-51205” inside or under the USDA mark of inspection.
The problem was discovered after FSIS performed routine product testing of finished product containing RTE poultry products produced by BrucePac and confirmed those products positive for Listeria monocytogenes. Subsequent FSIS investigation identified BrucePac RTE chicken as the source of the Listeria monocytogenes.
At the very least, that corroborates that the listeria worry is ongoing, and local stores — including Walmart — are going to be receiving “memos” to remove items from the shelf, and under no circumstances should they allow customers to buy said products.

I do believe that guy, pqf212 on X.com, has done his homework. While I’m not ready to completely dismiss the possibility that there is a concerted effort to put Americans in general in a bad place, to keep us fearful and worried about simply feeding our families safely, and thereby less likely to unite in an actual pushback against what I can only describe as a FULLY TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT, at this point — I’m going to call this, at least for now, primarily a case of listeria fear coupled with supply chain mismanagement, and the chaos of a disaster situation.
Does that mean I have completely erased the possibility that the Biden-Harris government is potentially walking us one step at a time to a sinister plot that once would have only been believed in a Hollywood movie?
Not a chance. Ears open. Eyes open. Head on a swivel. Stay safe, everyone. We know the game that the far left has been playing with this country and with the American people for some time now. Not every viral video is going to legitimately point to that conspiracy. But that doesn’t mean the conspiracy isn’t real, either.
