Pentagon blamed for high price of military meat
GAO testimony to the Senate FG subcommittee says Army meat specs limit competition and raise costs. Only 55 of 2,500 eligible firms supply beef, with 13 controlling 84 percent of purchases. Prices for diced beef show military at 1.54 per lb versus 1.12 at VA. Allegations link former G and G Packing staff to a new firm Trans Country Packing supplying diced beef to the Army.
