Safeway Inc. to stop packaging meat with carbon monoxide gas
Responding to concerns from members of Congress, Safeway Inc. is halting the
sale of meat packaged in carbon monoxide gas, which makes the products
appear fresher. Reps. John D. Dingell and Bart Stupak, both Michigan
Democrats, wrote last month to three large meatpacking companies and to
Safeway, the country's biggest grocery chain, asking them to stop the
practice. Safeway was the first to respond.
