Just a word of information for you. Just because you had some IBP that
was needled, it does not follow that all their meats are so treated.
They offer both needled and not. IBP, in of itself, does not produce
poor beef. They sell all grades of beef, as well as needled and not
needled.

I do know for a fact that some of Costco's beef comes from them, but is
NOT needled.
