The processing plant was identified in the story. I was wondering if this is USA or imported origin beef.
Since ecoli seems to come in on the carcass I think the origin of the carcass is important.
From a reply below sounds imported. The story says some was sold as 70% value pak at Walmart. Doesn’t sound like high end beef to me.
As for blaming CNN, his story was covered by a dozen or more different sources.
That 70% does actually point to a higher quality. If it was 100% imported it would be much lower fat. Most of the reason to import is to get leaner meat to blend.
