I called this company because I wanted my money back! Not product replacement as guarantee says. The secretary asked me if I had my receipt. I told her no but i do have the brochure and the meats. She told me not to defrost the meats to cook them from frozen. Hellloo Im 28 and i can defrost meat before I cook it in a refigerator, Isnt this from a cow? Maybe NOT! I further researched this company on the net and found a recall was issued for 406,000 lbs of meats, and that others in my area that purchased meats were getting sick too. Tampabay 28 did a story on a few people in Holiday FL, so I know it wasnt just me.
I reported this incident to the USDA and the Dept. Agriculture and they are investigating them. For all we know there power could have gone out during one of our last 4 hurricanes and their unloading bad meat to our doorstep. NOT ANYMORE!!

Special Instructions

I've stated this before. I've bought this meat before and I was given special instructions to cook the meat. Why would you cook something without following instructions? Would a bake pillsbury cookies your way, or the way the company tells you so you can make the perfect cookie? This is the same concept. In order for you to get the perfect piece of meat, you need to cook it the way the company says.
You having stomach problems proves that you undercooked the meat, and as a result you got sick.

USDA inspections do not guarantee your product is free from disease or contamination. It was common in the late 1990's for the USDA to "certify" beef imported from foreign sources if it was labeled as safe by the originating country's inspection service. At random intervals USDA inspectors might have done courtesy inspections of the processing facility under agreement with the country's goverment. In one incident USDA inspectors visited a meat processing plant in Mexico in which they found the plant contaminated with fecal material, rife with flies/insects and generally filthy. This at a plant certified as safe by Mexican inspectors.
In addition with the high volume of meat processing facility operations and the small amount of inspectors available it is not possible to inspect every carcass processed or every plant in operation at all times.
I am curios as to the "additive" you place in your frozen beef so it cooks best that way. What is this additive and why do you not disclose it to your customers before they order???

This "Consumer Report" is COMPLETLY FALSE!

We also suggest cooking our steaks from frozen because they are sealed with a pkging solution so they cook BETTER from frozen! If its not beef than why is it inspected by the department of agriculture? yet another demonstration of the maturity level Mr. DeLeon exhibits.
All of our company's steaks are USDA inspected, we also did not distribute ANY of the meat he mentioned in our recall, all items were retrieved from only 3 of our freezers ( mostly out west) AND DISTROYED! (please contact the USDA for any info on this).
NO ONE IN PINELLAS COUNTY WAS AFFECTED BY THE RECALL!!!!
Tampabay28 NEVER did a story on our company they did an excerpt on another company in the area. ANOTHER FALSE statement by the alleged consumer, ( AGAIN WE STILL HAVE NO PROOF HE EVER EVEN BOUGHT ANYTHING FROM US!)
The usda has not contacted us reguarding ANY of Mr. Deleon's claims. This guy is a complete and utter joke, he continually calls and harasses our offices, he calls and hangs up repeatedly. We have now recently filed criminal harassment charges.
NONE of our freezers went down during ANY hurricane, of course a large company like ours enlists the help of generators when we have a storm approaching. Our company's sales have been better than ever and we also have a perfect cust. service record with the state.
In short this man is completly base and un-educated, He is a complete liar and we really dont care to waste any more of our company time on such a foolish immature person.
