Well at least it’s sterile after that. I’d hate to buy expired meat that was swimming and bacteria.
You ever think about grocery stores 30 years ago? Before the celebrity chef craze? They were sad places. Nowhere near the variety that we have now. On the other hand, your average grocery store had a lot more cuts of meat. Everything’s been whittled down to just a few select cuts. Flank steak has all but disappeared. Pork neck bones are a rarity. Don’t even think about finding a skirt steak. It was a whole other world back then.
It was pretty clear that this was unique to Food Lion and widespread as a policy. Folks wouldn’t buy meet there. This was 25 years ago when I moved to an area that had Food Lion stores and caught static for even shopping there.
My opinion of grocery stores 30 years ago was that they were not, on the whole, sad. They could be, sure, but IMO big chains are worse now than then. Perhaps because they bought all the competition? I’ve never been a big meat eater, so maybe I noticed the changes elsewhere.
Meat that is going bad has toxins from the bacteria that can’t be bleached or destroyed with heat. It’s the main reason you get sick from it even if you cook it.

I was joking. But seriously, stores sucked back then
grocery stores where I lived were fine in the mid 90s?
Must have been nice.
The craze that made the cheap cuts of meat expensive?
Ohhh, now it’s “traditional comfort food” and everyone wants it, so let’s triple the price of that literal offcut.
