We got notice a little over a week ago to change our packaging and thickness of cuts. Kinda like they do with potato chips and cereal , packaging less weight, because of increase in prices per pound.
Example , instead of reg cut of grilling steaks being 1- 11/4 in, they’re now 1/2-3/4 in.
So.... also the pork and chicken we get in is frozen rock solid. Takes a day of it sitting unrefridgerated to even halfway thaw to cut it. Would explain the weird coloring of some meats aswell. If you cut it partially frozen it doesn’t bloom out well. You can’t scrape the bone dust off either.
Quoting: MKPitBull VERY interesting info. Do you think the hard-frozen storage order fulfillment will run out soon, given all the plant closings?? Not a clue. Certain poultry , pork and beef from our suppliers get sent to different stores in different areas. No matter if it’s ordered or not. And they run ads for cheap deals, we order 30 cases and get 5. Store down the road about 30 miles may get all they order on sale items, but get shorted on other stuff. I ‘ve stopped trying to figure it out cause it changes weekly. One things for sure, prices will continue to rise especially on beef. Also I’ve noticed it seems we’re getting in product from weird named suppliers, not the usual packaging.
