Clean Meat at Your Co-op

Clean Meat at Your Co-op

With all the hullabaloo about Mad Cow and now the information that conventional beef can be irradiated, it's no wonder so many Albuquerqueans are turn-ing to the Co-op's meat counter.

Our organically produced meat is as clean as you can get and we are proud to be supporting the fine folks at the New Mexico Organic Livestock Cooperative.

Choose from beef, pork, chicken or lamb and know that your meat is as clean, fresh, and delicious as it gets.

For more information, contact Frank at Nob Hill or Denise at the Valley Co-op.

Irradiation Alert:
Beware of these Brands!

The following is a list of the brand names under which com-panies are selling irradiated food.

If you see any of these brands on the shelves of your local grocery store and see the phrase "treated by [or with] irradiation" tell the manager you will not buy it.

The irradiation labeling will be very small.
