Huge health concern PSA! Black Foam particles found contaminating meat in major grocery stores (Safeway/Albertson’s)

I posted something about this last week but when I had to throw away $50 worth of steak the other night because I found so many black flecks, I had to speak up.

So when I went back to Safeway’s meat department yesterday, I was on a mission to take photos of contaminated meat on the shelves and I was dismayed at what I saw. Maybe even horrified at what I found AND the lack of response from the meat dept employees.

As I pointed out package after package of meats (not just beef but pork and salmon, really anything on the black polystyrene trays), the apathetic nods and placating promises to “talk to somebody about this” just convinced me to take it to a customer service manager.

The gentleman there took a much more serious approach, taking notes and my number, after showing him the photos.

So, as I hope to follow through with this and raise awareness, even on social media, or the news if I have to, because carcinogenic particulate in my steaks just really ruins my appetite.

Check your meat folks!
