What Grocery Stores Have Pink Slime In Their Meats?

March 15, 2012

:: UPDATED WITH SHOPRITE INFO

A little less than a year ago, I bought a half of a pastured grass-fed cow. You can read more about why I decided to pay $6/lb for beef, but the bottom line is that I wanted to to what went in to my food and that the beef that we were eating came from 1 healthy cow, not a mixture of 15 different cows that were all ground together in some giant machine.

I first heard about pink slime (also known as “Boneless Lean Beef Trimmings – BLBT” or “Lean Finely Textured Beef – LFTB”) while watching Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution and how it was used to make chicken nuggets at fast food places. It never occurred to me that it might be in the ground beef that I buy in the stores. Then Alecia left this comment about pink slime on a post, and I was even more certain that I had made the correct decision to buy that cow.

Pink Slime has been in the news quite a bit recently, as it has been revealed that it IS in the ground beef that we buy in 70% of the supermarkets in the US. Coupons Deals and More has put together a national list of what stores do and do not use pink slime in their meats.

For my local readers, here are the stores in Southeast PA and their position on pink slime:

A&P (Pathmark, Superfresh) – does not use pink slime
Giant (Ahold) – ~~Stores operated by the divisions of Ahold USA do carry ground beef made with Boneless Lean Beef Trimmings (BLBT), also called Finely Textured Beef (FTB)~~ UPDATE: Giant has stated that they will no longer be using pink slime in their meats
Genuardi’s (Safeway) – does – We rely on the federal government to help guide us on food safety issues. USDA has been clear in its judgment that Lean Finely Textured Ground Beef is a safe source of nutrition. However, we are reviewing the matter at this time.
Acme (SuperValu)) – does use pink slime UPDATE: Acme has stated that they will no longer be using pink slime in their meats
Wegmans – does (sorta) – While most ground beef contains a small percentage of boneless lean beef trimmings, our processor does not use ammoniated meat products in the production of fresh ground beef
Weis Supermarket – does use pink slime in their ground beef UPDATE: Weis has stated that they will no longer be using pink slime in their meats
Shop Rite – Laura noted on the Moms Need To Know Facebook page that “ShopRite has come out publicly to state that they’ve never used “pink slime” either, and 100% of their ground beef is ground at the store”

These are just Philadelphia-area stores. Check out a list of stores in other areas as well as national chains at Coupons Deals and More!

What do you think about pink slime? Will you change your buying habits because of the list?

Genuardi’s Closing All Stores – Coupon Matchups Update

January 19, 2012

As most Genuardi’s shoppers know, Safeway is selling or closing all Genuardi’s stores soon.

The ads that enable me to do the weekly coupon matchups usually come in the mail on Thursdays. When my ads didn’t include the Genuardi’s ad this week, I ran over to my local Genuardi’s (one of the ones that is closing rather than being sold) and they are in “clearance mode” and will no longer have the ads.

From now on, Genuardi’s matchups will likely not be posted until Friday mid-morning or afternoon, as (assuming that Genuardi’s will still HAVE ads), I will have to wait until the new ad is posted on their website on Friday morning.

Thanks for understanding!

Genuardi’s To Close All Stores in the Philadelphia area

January 5, 2012

If you haven’t yet heard, Safeway announced today that they are pulling out of the Phildelphia area, which means that all Genuardi’s stores will be closing.

I have to say, this doesn’t come as a shock to me. I used to shop at Genauardi’s years ago (when they were still a locally-owned company headquartered in Norristown – before Safeway bought them) and have seen a steady decline in the quality and service at the store for years.

According to this article, 16 of the stores will be sold to Giant.

The stores to be sold to Giant include those in Warwick, Newtown Township, Middletown, New Britain Township, Lower Moreland, Abington and Upper Gwynedd. They and the other stores — in West Chester, Marlborough, St. Davids, Springfield, Wynnewood, Flourtown, Spring House, King of Prussia and Maple Glen — will become Giant markets once the sale closes later this year.

Safeway also wants to sell eight more stores, including those in Doylestown and Evesham, N.J., and plans to close its stores in Exton, Royersford and Norristown.

(snip)

Rick Herring, president of Carlisle-based Giant, said Greater Philadelphia has been a good home for the chain.

“We’ve been successful all throughout Pennsylvania and in Philadelphia with providing a good customer experience and pretty good stores in the market,” Herring said in a phone interview. “These were areas that were underserved by us. We thought it was an opportunity to fill in our market in Philadelphia.”

Herring said Giant would consider Genuardi’s employees for open positions at its markets.

“We need people,” he said. “We hope to get a lot of good people, a lot of good Genuardi’s people. They’ve got good folks. We’re going to anticipate hiring a lot of them.”

So while I haven’t shopped at Genuardi’s more than a few times in the last 2 years (I think they are even more expensive than Wegman’s!), my heart goes out to the employees and managers of Genuardi’s stores….losing your job is a horrible thing to face and I wish them the best of luck!

What are your thoughts on Genuardi’s no longer being a part of the Philadelphia area?
