Frankly, Chuck, I'd be surprised to find freezer burn on store-packaged
meats.

Freezer burn is dry and white on the surface of the meat. Up here (MN),
I could tell you that it looks the way dried salt-spray melt-off looks
on a concrete garage floor. :-)

AFAIC, it there's not a lot of it, I just trim it off and proceed as
usual.
