You don't really notice it unless you look at what is written. You wouldn't think these cuts need that tenderizing

So going along with another current thread talking about 'mechanically tenderized", my question is SIMPLE:
according to the new standards it HAS TO SAY on the label, so if you inspect a label and it DOESN'T say it anywhere, it's safe to assume it's OK?? Because it would be against the law to not label it, correct?

Mechanically Tenderized Beef (usda.gov)

I would agree. If it doesn't specify then it isn't mechanically tenderized. There are probably regulations about it in the US and Canada
The ones I saw at Costco were wrapped by Costco. The cryovac bags weren't labeled that way. The prime ribs I got from our Walmart all had it on their labels.

So is that a loophole!!! Or a possible loophole? Would Costco get their meat in bulk, labeled as tenderized, separate them and just generic label them???? I'm not being a conspirator here, just asking a "what if" rhetorical question...

I believe their 'bulk' is the cryovac meats. They more than likely tenderize in house they do the portioning

The One Reason You Might Want To Skip Costco's Beef - Mashed

Costco has just about everything you could ever want, including some of the biggest packs of fresh steaks you've ever had the opportunity to snatch up. While some find it too big a hit to the wallet to bulk buy prime cuts of pricey beef even at warehouse prices, there's another factor to consider.

Been traveling for work and away from the BBQ Palace.

First time back in a while and now it's a small turkey. First try on a Traeger since SWMBO usually handles these indoors in the kitchen.

This one is not stuffed though. 10 more degrees on the breast to go!

Tonight’s dinner: Smoked Traeger Tri-Tip. First time using a Meater+ Meat thermometer . I liked the way it worked and it sure helped me not overcook the tri-tip.

Storm rolling in. Slow smoked (200F super smoke) Snake River Wagu fillet's to 115F, pulled and cranked to 450F, reverse seared. Then, while hot, tossed in some rubbed chicken parts for tomorrow.

Got her cooled down and covered just before the rain rolled in.
