Indian River County woman finds sleeping pills in ground beef purchased at Walmarthttp://www.tcpalm.com/news/2010/aug/12/indian-river-county-woman-finds-sleeping-pills/
Arlene Kahn was breaking apart clumps of commercially produced ground beef when she found two medical pills inside, she said.
The two 25 mg blue pills have since been identified as a sleep aid.
On Thursday, police spokesman Officer Steve Marcinik, said Walmart officials are calling on their packaged ground meat supplier in Georgia to look into the matter.
Kahn found the pills in an uncooked portion of the meat she was preparing to freeze. She didn’t see any in the meat she cooked, but she threw that out.

Why were the pills sleeping in meat?
Nah, that's just the WallyWorld beef you smell. And yeah, I made the mistake of getting a couple of "steaks" from there once. I'm really torn--I can't bring myself to throw them away, yet I know no matter what I do with them, they're going to be pretty much inedible.
I don't want to come off as one of those picky-super-uber-overcritical-people. But, I am a bit more careful about the meat I buy these days. And, there are some places I just won't buy meat. Walmart is one of them.

Yuck. I stopped buying "fresh" beef at WalMart... it just doesn't cook or taste right. Reminds me of embalming fluid.

NEWS FLASH.....DUmmies swamp WAL-MART with orders for ground beef.
I have not bought fresh meat at WalMart since they fired the meatcutters and went with all pre-packed meat over ten years ago...
I did pick up a box of frozen burger patties for a cook out. They were priced great and very good. I was pretty impressed.
About the only thing one can get at w-mart that is good is their frozen fish--
I haven't had cod in years. I'll stick with pan-fried tilapia when I can't get catfish.

I'm assuming its farmed. I didn't read the package.
It's white fish... they taste all the same.
I've been thinking about this again, and the more I ponder it, the more I'm convinced this chick was trying to hit the litigation lottery and faked the pills.
Think about it--this meat was GROUND UP and yet she still found whole pills in there that she managed to pull out intact? Think about it, kids--even if someone at the factory/butcher put that in there and covered it up, how long has it been since that meat was processed, frozen, and thawed again? Can ANY pill hold up under that kind of moisture for that kind of time?
