Finally! A meat company who doesn't use styrofoam!

I've been waiting for a company to get on this! Every year millions of of styrofoam meat trays are left in our garbage dumps with no chance of decomposing. There is now a company who is thinking of our future and getting into the eco way of packaging! Murry's Chicken, based in New York, is now supplying eco-friendly packaging for their chicken products. Set to be released on April 22 for Earth Day, this packaging developed by Reiser Equipment and is freezer safe and leak resistant. "As a company that takes its social responsibility seriously, the foam tray was always a thorn in our side and we have long been exploring options," said Steve Gold, Vice President of Marketing for Murray's Chicken. "We're excited to now offer a smart and environmentally-responsible alternative."

The packaging also includes a 'Farm Verification' label which allows the buyer to use an online tracking tool to find out the actual farm that the poultry came from! I'm pretty impressed with this company. Hopefully this type of packaging and technology can come up to Canada soon.
