Recycled Meat in Ready Meals
Ever wondered where unsold meat ends up? In many supermarkets, that aging ground beef or yesterday’s rotisserie chicken might get a second life—inside your prepackaged lasagna or chicken salad. Rather than toss it out, it’s often rebranded and cooked into deli items and heat-and-eat meals.
This practice reduces waste, but it also blurs freshness lines. That “homestyle shepherd’s pie” may taste great, but its ingredients could be nearing their expiration behind the scenes. As long as the food is cooked properly, it’s legal—but it definitely makes you rethink what “prepared fresh daily” really means.
