I bought it at the Grocery Outlet.

I thought I had a deal.

It seems odd. I checked it out further and it is from Australia and the same brand was/is being sold at Walmart and was recalled in the past.

Yuck!

I cannot bring myself to try anymore of it and glad I only bought two packages of "it". I think I will throw the rest of it OUT.

On edit ... more info. here (it is Thomas Foods in New Jersey that imports it from Australia): https://thomasfoods.com/

A batch of it was recalled from Walmart due to e-coli:

>>Several recalls have involved ground beef sold at Walmart under brands like Thomas Farms and Marketside Butcher, primarily due to potential E. coli contamination, with major recalls in June 2020 (around 43,000 lbs) and others in 2022 and 2024, impacting products from producers like Lakeside Refrigerated Services and Cargill; consumers with affected products should check the specific dates and lot codes on packaging and dispose of or return them.



I eat very little meat. Being it said organic and grass fed, I assumed it was from the USA.
WRONG!
My cats weren't interested in it either!

Lucky you ... I guess!
