Boars Head

in Beef
For some reason, I have always associated Boars Head with quality. I am not really sure why, possibly their neat clean display cases. Last Monday, I went to get some ham and noticed the deli counter at Kroger was wiped out, very few products in the glass case. This explains it.
South of Columbus, Ohio.

Yup, very alarming. Happens a lot in the food industry unfortunately. Wasn’t as mainstream worthy until peanut butter allergies and the whole Blue Bell situation

I had an employee years ago who wouldn’t eat burgers ever, always chicken. He had worked at large beef processing plant, I never asked for deets.South of Columbus, Ohio.

Perception of quality and actual quality are two different things. I’ve been to plenty of Chic fil As with C food ratings. People don’t believe me when I tell them. I suppose they don’t want to believe me is more likely the case.This one feels like Blue Bell.On a side note, recalls always expand. Stay away from all of it until the coast is clear.

I've never noticed Boar's Head was any better than the rest of the case - just more expensive. It's processed meat after all.

I asked my German friend if he knew the square root of 81. He said no.

on another note, make this stuff yourselfVisalia, Ca @lkapigian -
A hot dog/bologna plant In Greensboro was probably the nastiest plant I’ve been in.A leading brand name ham facility in Virginia was a close second. The amount of corrosion from the salt was unbelievable.
A chicken rendering plant on a 105 degree South Carolina day is an experience as well. -
I see what you did there @DoubleEggerlolSouth of Columbus, Ohio.

Another large plant in Peoria was Hiram Walker. I was out in the plant doing an audit step (and step was the correct term) as I had on new shoes and I side-stepped to avoid a pool of something. Doing so I got creme de coco all over my suit. That suit could not be cleaned and I had to trash it! -

worst I’ve ever seen was doing secure document storage for a chicken processing plant. Pools of blood in the parking lot. Scared me to death.Large BGE and Medium BGE
