Born, Raised, and Harvested in the USA
« Reply #-1 on: June 24, 2014, 03:09:37 PM »
In my quest to save as much $$ as possible these days I like to shop for meat at Costco.  It's hard to beat their quality and price!  Nowadays you can't be too careful ...  First time I've seen "Born, Raised, and Harvested in the USA" on a label but then I never paid that much attention before - You can bet I will from now on!!



Saved me some big $$ buying the whole Pork Loin and cutting my own.  Sometimes upwards of $2 a pound.





I got 9 meals for the 2 of us for less than $3 a meal for the protein  8)  8)

Good looking meat. I would like to see the words "processed in the USA" added since some companies are raising their meat here and harvesting it and sending it to China to be processed. Why I don't know.

Smithfield - which is one of the largest producers in the world - now belongs to the Chinese. I think we will see more products pointing to total USA control. Smart marketing....

Pete I like to do the same thing!

Those loins are great because I like a nice thick chop and cut them 1 1/2 inches to 2 inches thick unlike those sissy chops they sell already cut ;)

Sous Vide then sear and they are awesome!

And Costco is my goto place for meat too!
