A 30 Year Butcher Tested Ground Beef From Walmart Costco and Kroger These Failed

Описание: You pick up a bright red package of ground beef at Walmart, Costco, or Kroger and assume it must be fresher than the dark, ugly-looking pack sitting beside it. But after 30 years behind the butcher counter, I've learned that color can be one of the most misleading things in the meat case.

In this video, I put ground beef from Walmart, Costco, and Kroger through 8 old-school butcher checks to find out which packages offer good value and which ones fail the test.

I'll explain why Costco's 88/12 ground beef isn't always the best choice for burgers, what Kroger's cheaper 73/27 beef really costs after cooking, and why Walmart's bright red packaging doesn't necessarily tell you how fresh the meat is.

I'll also show you the difference between ground beef and hamburger, how to read USDA establishment numbers, why 160°F matters for food safety, and the overlooked ground beef package that passed more checks than the prettier alternatives.

If you're tired of guessing which ground beef is worth buying, these butcher tips will help you save money, avoid common mistakes, and make smarter choices at the meat counter.
