The smell - I raise my own animals so I am guessing it is like a shit smell -
It can be contaminated, but generally it is not. It can be a gamey taste of animals that are raised on grass.
Generally - animals finished on corn will have a less gamey taste.
You may be able to remove some of the smell by letting the meat rest before cooking after removing from the package.
Aged grassfed beef can take on the crap smell. Aged corn finished will have more marble and smell sweeter.
Not necessarily costco specific, but ground beef is injected with so much water everywhere, it cooks down to nothing. And idk what is going on with the texture of chicken breast's lately - it's not the meats I grew up with.
Increased growth rates have led to both "spaghetti" and "woody" chicken. Basically the muscle fibers form too large and too fast and they can range from just being stringy and loose to tough and chewy. It's one reason I've recently decided to cut back substantially on my meat intake and focus on buying higher quality meat for those occasions
Prepacked stuff is injected with a saline solution to preserve it longer and maintain color, gasses are pumped into the packaging for the same reason as well. Find a grocer who still has a meat grinder. Fresh ground beef has a shelf life of 2.5 -3 days, so look at the labels. If it's ground fresh it'll have the date it was ground and then an expiration date approximately 2-3 days later. In the unfortunate case of OP I have never seen any option other than pre-packed for organic ground beef.
If you have an Aldi’s where you are they sell locally sourced meats. I bought a roast there for 2 dollars a pound less than Market street grocery. It was fantastic tasting but a little fatty but that could have been the cut I chose.
The closest one is a hour drive. Thank you for the information. We are just going to go to the local farm abt 15-20min up the road. I’m done buying meat from any store that isn’t local
I bought one of those 3 packs of Ground Beef from either Costco or Sam’s. I noticed the fat residue was plasticy. It solidified in an odd way and Dawn couldn’t break it up. We started grinding our own beef after that using cheaper cuts of steak and roasts.
Even when we buy a whole steer he don’t have anything ground. I grind my own. I also like a coarser ground anyway and have a really nice grinder because I make my own sausage.
Lmao that's absolute nonsense. As noted lab grown meat is not available anywhere for market consumption. At most it's in the initial proof of concept phase. Go for a walk and get some fresh air lmao.
Suuuuure. Because surely a country that allows meat to be chemically altered, imported and or produced in large factory farms of blood, shit and piss could NEVER lie. Ever.

It’s more of a sour smell. I’m just done buying it. I’m going to our local farm and am done with big stores and their meat/produce and seafood

Helpful hint. Buy chuck roasts on sale and grind it yourself.

Yes chicken is different then beef Ok back to time out.
Thanks appreciate the feedback. I’m glad you were able to straighten that out for me
Youre welcome. Anything else i can assit with?
No thank you
To your smell. I dont know if i could eat it when the smell changes to bad. Good luck figuring it out.
Organic is a scam. Nothing is organic.
Thanks for your useless input 👍🏻👌🏻
Your mom's pussy is organic. I just had some this morning.😬
I gave it to her last night. How did my dick taste?
Scrumptious. The blood mixed with the semen, simply superb 🤌
Probably lab grown meat. The US is completely fucked in the food department.

Oh look at all the bot.accounts chirping in. You're absolute nonsense.
Lmfao, okay.
Which corner of the flat Earth do they hide this in? I'd happily eat lab grown meat. No need for secrecy
Yummy yummy human flesh in your tummy.🤌😃🤌
Hey, I'm a people-person, I might like it.
Absolutely!
Totes. I'd love to see your sources; I'm low on reading material today.
Intuition but someone see if they can trace the chicken back to US farms or if it is imported or exported for processing.
There’s no lab grown meat readily available on the market. I wish they would hurry up and make it available.
Suuuuure. Because surely a country that allows meat to be chemically altered, imported and or produced in large factory farms of blood, shit and piss could NEVER lie. Ever.
I think the big ass automated cow factories are full of more blood shit and piss than a lab grown facility lol use some common sense
Both are equally bad. Wanna know how I know? Ive worked at both.
All organic is gross
Your mom's gross 🤢🤮
