Definitive proof of Wegmans distributor of Beef
I just found a review of restaurants and supermarkets beef supplies. Wegmans has its own line of ground beef as of 2001, the first supermarket to do so. While the meat man couldn't give me any straight answers (perhaps because the beef industry seems to be in turmoil right now) I seem to have come up with my own facts. An article put out in Buffalo regarding a major beef recall referenced Cargill Meat Solutions as Wegmans supplier. A visit to Cargill's website shows several brands that they umbrella over, including Excel Corporation. Below is an excerpt from a list of markets carrying irradiated ground beef: "the new line, produced at Excel corp.'s Dodge City, Kan. plant..." This refers to the Wegmans line of ground beef which is produced by this company. This shows that the beef line at Wegman's is not by any means "local" but very likely could be affected by FDA regulations.
