- It's really no different from other chains. It's a matter of what you expect and desire if you buy pre-packaged meats. Here's a quote from Wal-Mart's general merchandise manager of perishables...(m) - Colleen 16:47 Jul 28

- Why do they have additives in the meat? I`m moving and there is no Trader Joe`s were I`m going.I`m going to have to find a place to get meat from. Would you happen to know what other major stores that don`t have additives in there meat? nt - Tracey 16:12 Jul 28

- I ask the grocery store if they have their own butcher who actually cuts the meat, or do they get it pre-packaged from somewhere else. If the store doesn't have a butcher, I shop elswhere. If they do have a butcher, then I talk directly to him. The butcher can often order any piece of meat that the customer wants. Also - most towns have at least one stand-alone butcher shop. Ask around. - - nt - - - Rosemary in Colorado 19:58 Jul 28
