"Packaged in Mexico" should have raised a huge red flag.

I buy cold cuts at Walmart all the time, never have a problem, but never
heard of those brands you bought. The Walmart here has a to-order deli
counter, they sell various US of A brand names; Hormel, Boar's Head, Russer,
etc. Just yesterday I bought a pound each of Hormel Di Lusso Genoa, Hormel
sliced pepperoni. Boar's Head turkey breast, and Tobin's bologna. I buy
cold cuts at Walmart because they have a huge turnover, everything is fresh,
their deli dept is scrupulously clean, and they charge like half the price
of the stupidmarket delis. Tonight's dinner will be a Chef's Salad w/turkey
breast... cats love turkey.
