The new fancy black wrappers and trays do not disguise the nasty phospates which are STILL in the walmart meat. YUK…….. personally I refuse to eat soap, although when i was a kid a few times I did take a bar in the mouth for not minding my parents. Even the tyson wings in the deli now are fatty and gross, I wont buy any more of them, although I did love them at one time, even though its a bit more trouble, and more expensive, I shall go other places than walmart which is less than one mile from my door…….. shame on walmart for trying to wash my insides without my permission……….. YUK YUK YUK…. READ the lable and you will see phosphate in more than one area on the meat…………… not for me or my family.

I have been a Walmart fan for quite a few years, however I am rethinking that position. Their meat ISN’T RIGHT. You can’t get a steak to cook with a pink center… Its rubbery… Often reminds me of the smell of pork poop… Their pork is worse… I have always bought the 73/37 ground beef. I’m noticing that as you fry it the fat doesn’t run out readily until it is burned hard. SOMETHING is wrong… Chicken wings don’t brown properly, even in used oil. No flavor, other than a subtle wet-feather aroma… I sampled a portion of beef produced by my brother-in-law who has gotten into small scale beef production since his “retirement”. It was incredible - it tastes beefy, it cooks right, no nothing fed to the animals to boost production, cut and packaged by a USDA facility (not the local deer processor), and delivered frozen hard in his refrigerated box truck in various quanities for $4/lb… I just talked myself into ordering some today… WallyWorld can keep their contaminated @#$%^&*!

WHEN I MAKE STEW I BUY THE SUPER TRIM. I BOUGHT A PACKAGE AT WALMART TWO WEEKS GO AND IT HAD SUCH A WEIRD TASTE WE COULD NOT EAT IT - - I BOUGHT MY CHRISTMAS TURKEY AT WALMART ALSO AND IT WAS SO LOADED WITH SALT THAT I PERSONALLY DID NOT EAT ANY. MY THANKSGIVING TURKEY WAS ENTIRELY TOO SALTY T EAT AS WELL, HOWEVER; WE DID NOT BUY IT AT WALMART AND IT WAS A BUTTERBALL. I AM NOW WONDERING WHERE YOU CAN BUY TURKEYS AND CHICKENS THAT ARE NOT LOADED WITH SALT. ANY ADVISE?

My husband and I used to take our kids to Wal-Mart to get chicken tenders from the deli. One day after getting in the car and doing our usual “mmmmmmmmmmm” to the smell of chicken filling the car, we each took out a piece and bit down. I know have a brand new filling and my husband needed a crown. Our kids loved it though, they both had loose teeth and the tooth fairy was very generous to them for having to loose teeth that weren’t loose yet. Thank you Wal-Mart for your brilliance with not only cornering the market and putting out many businesses to your greed, but now you have a partnership with the dental community. BRAVO You kids sure have made your father proud, I can just hear ole Sam Walton rolling in his money over and over right now……….ah

I too made the mistake of buying meat at wal-mart. Delmonico steaks @ 7.59 a pound, I should have known something was amiss. The meat was a bright red and looked nice but as soon as i seared it on the grill things changed. It was rubbery and gray and tasted, well we haven’t quite found a word that describes the taste. I placed the steaks back in the original container and with receipt in hand; I hauled the still warm steaks back to the store. I was that upset. They did apologize and refunded my money. Wal-mart; the store you love-to-hate or hate-to-love, whichever the case may be.

Unfortunately Wal-mart is the only store located anywhere near where I live (they have put everyone else out of business). I absolutely refuse to buy any more Wal-mart meat. It is the worse stuff I’ve ever eaten. I recently tried to return some rotten chicken & because I did not save my receipt, I was told that they could not give me a refund or replace it. I had all the packaging which showed the date & price. I made such a scene I was afraid they were going to call the police. They eventually gave in and gave me my money back just to shut me up. I am seriously considering becoming a vegetarian & growing my own produce.

I am a kidney transplant patient, and have some dietary requirements to remain healthy. Virtually ALL the meat sold at WalMart is soaked in a 10 to 14% brine solution, making the salt content extremely high. Not only that, the texture of the meat is altered to a shiney, very wet appearance and texture. When cooked, it does remain tender, but the texture is very soft and the flavor altered considerably, and obviously remains very salty.
Anyone who has a salt restricted diet should be very aware of the high salt content of WalMart meats. I have complained about their meats from local stores to AK headquarters, and everyone says they will stock meats unaltered with this “tenderization” salt solution, but they never do. Check the nutritional labels for yourself.
And you pay the same price as the meat per pound for the 10-14% water/salt solution injected into it, so you are paying a high price for water and salt!

I recently purchased meat from wal-mart simular to what happened to your wife. I purchesd a roat, 2 steaks and some deli meats. We too couldn’t eat the deli meat and we cooked the roast when it was done it had the strangest texture and looked “NOT RIGH” it tasted off just thought it was that 1 piece of meat well we had the steaks this evning and they were cooked on the grill, they had the same strange texture and looks as the roast. My steak was so salty i couln’t eat it and my husbans was just terriblewe couldn’t eat them…i found some articals about them soaking their meat in salt??? I will never buy meat from wal-mart again.

I hope you’ve learned your lesson! I once concluded that anything sold at Walmart probably fell off the production line of stuff going to quality stores. I’ve never purchased anything electrical there that wasn’t crap. Between throwing stuff away and returning it, your purchases are much more cheaply made elsewhere.
