Does anyone else notice that Walmart's ground beef is a little different? I don't know what it is - probably the grinding machine, but I don't like the consistency of it. When I brown it, it just looks different. A friend of mine describes it as "wormy"! I love buying their "tube meat". That's what dh and I call their ground beef that comes prepackaged in tubes. But it's the other kind that is in styrofoam that kind of makes me leery.

I have only also bought the "tube" meat from WalMart - never tried their own. I have noticed in the past ground beef I have bought elsewhere has been like that. If memory serves me - Aldi's was like that too. "Wormy" is a good description

It could also be what they add to keep it looking so red for so long! DH refuses to eat meat from Walmart.

Sorry, it scares me to much to eat meat from Walmart. I have to buy the kind that is hormone free, natural fed, blah blah blah. That and milk and chicken.

I don't mind it in the tubes, but it looks like worms in the other packages. Fareway is still my favorite.

I bought their meat once and my husband had a reaction to it! My husband is allergic to chicken so I guess that is what is in their ground beef. He called Wal-mart to complain that it was not listed on the package that chicken was in it but they wouldn't admit to it but they did reimburse me for the item. Grosses me out to think about it.
