Consumer alert warns on bulk meat scams and new labeling standards
The Consumer Protection Division warns of bait and switch tactics by bulk meat dealers amid a year of price spikes. It notes U S Department of Agriculture freshness rules and explains hanging weight canvassing and price per pound issues. The National Live Stock and Meat Board proposes labeling reforms to standardize beef cuts and fat content, aiming for clearer supermarket labels and fewer aliases. Consumers should compare prices, watch trimming, and report problems to officials or the BBB.
