I found these comments on the Walmart Tube meat on the Walmart site. No thank you - I don't think anyone should be eating this garbage:
- I found small pieces of grinded up metal in my meat . I reported it to the store manager as well as the wal mart corporation it was the five pound roll.
- Usually by the this on a regular basis - usually OK quality with some variation in fat content. The last roll I bought last week was very light colored - because it was loaded with fat. I cooked it down, and without exaggeration, it was at least half fat. I had to go out and buy additional meat to finish what I started. I have lost confidence in this product, which I bought primarily for value and packaging. The packaging gives the product a longer shelf life than loose packaging. However, at 15.88 a pop, I,m not buying this product any more.
- I had hoped that it was just a fluke, but I have bought more than one of these tubes and they were drippy wet with water and blood. The near 30% fat content isn't as bad as it sounds because the fat makes a better tasting burger. The water and blood, on the other hand, just makes a mess and at $3/lb for water, its downright offensive. Other stores that sell tube meat don't seem to have this problem. Since the other stores are selling a better product cheaper, I doubt I will buy any more walmart meat.
- Is a little high in fat content but as long as you drain it, it's a great value for your money. ETA: Now I guess we know why Amber doesn't drain her tube meat.
- cooks down to nothing almost
- Do not let this Beef sit in your fridge. Cook it or freeze it right away.
- When I bought this it was $2.58/lb compared to $4.99/lb at the grocery store, so the price difference is definitely a plus, which is the reason I bought it. But this stuff when I took it home and cooked it, it didn't look the same, didn't smell the same, didn't quite taste the same... it didn't taste or smell rancid and none of us got sick after eating it so I know the meat wasn't "bad", but it wasn't particularly "good" either.
- Ground up with deer meat , had too much fat content.
- I make my dog's food with this product and like the percentage of fat contant

Only Amber would shop for meat at a shop that doesn't have an actual Butcher.
