Went to Sam's this morning to purchase meat for the cookoff this weekend and I didn't see any pork butt. Jim came out and said "They won't let us sell it individually anymore, we can only sell it by the case." Thought he was joking. Not. FDA came in (all the Sam's Clubs) and told them they couldn't sell it like that because on the cryovac it doesn't have the FDA inspection logo. Called four stores in the KC area and it's the same.
I see a big pork butt by the case sale coming on, at least until they
have it all worked out.
