What exactly is in that pack of ground beef?
Have you ever wondered how many cows are in that single pack of ground beef you just bought?
The answer is not one, and it’s not even two.
The average pound of ground beef sold at the grocery store can contain meat from up to 100 different cows. Not all of them are from the same farm, either. A significant portion of the beef labeled “Product of USA” is imported.
Yes, it can be born, raised, and slaughtered in another country, shipped here frozen, and as long as it’s repacked in the US, they can slap that sticker on it.
That “fresh” ground beef you bought? It could be from Brazil, Australia, Mexico, or a combination of these countries and various animals.
There’s no law that mandates them to disclose this information. There’s no law that specifies the number of animals involved. There’s no way to trace it back to a single steer, a single ranch, or a single pasture.
And yet, we wonder why nothing tastes like it used to.
Real beef should not be a mystery. It should come from a single animal, not a supply chain.
When you buy beef from a small farm, you’re purchasing a steer that likely had a name, a pasture with a rich history, and a family that is deeply invested in its production.
At Finke Farms Beef, we prioritize traceability, consistency, and quality by sourcing our ground beef exclusively from a single animal. This unique approach allows our customers to trace the exact origin of their meat, from our Ranch to their doorstep.
Stop by today and checkout the ground beef and our complete line of beef cuts.
