[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1101424, member: 4362"] It took a lot of digging and I had some links saved to a draft which somehow just vanished from my computer. (sorry internet connection here) But it looked like the company was a smaller outfit dealing mostly with the farm to table niche brands. One of the producer's websites made some pretty strong claims and guaranteed their meat was only taken from mature animals. From what little I know about processing this is a red flag in most cases due to BSE. Other than that the processing facility looked clean enough - maybe a little outdated - maybe not enough stainless steel like the big boys have - or maybe not "food grade stainless", but I did see where they won an industry award for processing from Koche. But like you say there is very little specific information about the reasons why. I guess this takes some investigative effort on the part of the press and with the multitude of food regulations this might prove too daunting for someone with a liberal arts degree in journalism. My gut feeling is there is nothing much to this other than bureaucracy. Someone didn't check a box or fill out a form. Heck, they may not have donated to the Ag Secretary's campaign fund. Stranger things have happened. But as long as the sheep are herded tight and they are safe - who cares - right? [/QUOTE]
