Industry News - PM
Meat thieves cost industry $30 billion annually

As food prices climb, so does the theft of high-end beef cuts, according to a report in USA Today.

Including everything from 2,500 pounds of rib eyes and top sirloin in an Iowa meat locker to $95,000 of ground beef stolen from a tractor-trailer parked at a Louisiana truck stop, stolen meat has been turned up by police across the country in schemes to re-sell it to local restaurants.

The National Retail Federation says annual losses from such schemes can cost as much as $30 billion.

I find this part of the above story funny,

"They took a bunch of rib eye rolls and top sirloin, hams, steaks and a scale," Sedlacek says. Because they stole the scale, he thinks the thieves planned to break up the meat into smaller packages for sale.

Guess they must had some drug dealing exp. and was going to do the break down thing lolol

I wondering if that 95,000 dollars of ground beef was part of what was recently recalled.
