While I was at BJ's yesterday purchasing my spare ribs, I saw the butcher and decided to ask a question. I asked what was the difference between the spare ribs packaged in cryovac and the one's packaged like you see in your local grocery store. The response was as follows:
"Nothing...the one's in the individual packages are from cryovac packages which tore."
To me, that's something. Who knows how long the packages were torn before they were repackaged. Did it happen when they were loading the truck, unloading the truck, at BJ's; who knows?
I may be making too much out of this, but from now on it's cryovac only for me when purchasing ribs from BJ's.
