A friendly heads up on pre-seasoned meats in ‘some’ grocery stores....’some’

Many meat departments, instead of reducing the packages of fresh meats getting close to code (or if they have too much at once hitting a date)- will open and pre-season the meat to cover the ‘getting close to funkiness’ smell. Same with fish departments.

I’ve witnessed it done in the backrooms many times.
Again - in some chains and more rampant in small operations.

A hint to watch out for - if the store randomly has pre-seasoned meats (instead of a dedicated section daily with a nice variety)it’s most likely going on.

Ribs! Perfect timing. I was on this thread just to find a recipe for ribs tonight. Off to get them in the oven. Thanks.

I never buy the pre seasoned meats or fish. They always add too much salt and sometimes unwanted sugar as well. And then they wonder why we are a nation of overweight people with high blood pressure.
