Alfred Wendel of the New York State Association of Retail Meat Dealers told the group’s 50th convention that higher restaurant ceilings have led packing houses to divert meat to restaurant wholesale subsidiaries. New York City saw 15 percent less meat than last year, and homemakers faced reduced supplies as restaurants paid up to 20 percent more. He blamed packers for processing beef into salami and frankfurters to boost by products, noting OPA ceiling on chopped meat but higher by products margins.
