Are You Eating Meat Packed In Carbon Monoxide?

Post by tex »

Apparently some packers/retailers are packing meat in carbon monoxide, because it hides the signs of spoilage, and makes meat look fresher than it actually is. What an appetizing thought. :vomit2:

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Tex,

Oh YUCK! Another good reason why I don't eat meat as well as them injecting beef, etc. for good coloration.

Love, Maggie

Yup, Geoff and I had read that. One of the reasons we went to buying a local cow last year. If you look at packages of meat in WalMart and even in one of our local grocery stores, you can tell the meat is packed weird...gets a glossy shinny, watery look to it. Just looks yucky despite being red.
