Meat companies defend use of carbon monoxide

WASHINGTON - Minnesota companies Cargill Inc. and Hormel Foods Corp. told the House Agriculture Committee on Tuesday that their practice of packaging meat in carbon monoxide was safe, while consumer groups critical of the practice steamed about getting excluded from the hearing.
The meat industry uses the practice to help meat retain its red color, but critics say it misleads consumers about its freshness.
"The product has been in the market for four years, and it has been extremely well received by our retailers and our consumers," said Phil Minerich, a vice president at Hormel.

Last week, Safe Tables Our Priority and other groups opposed to the use of carbon monoxide asked the committee chairman, Minnesota Democrat Collin Peterson, for a chance to testify at the hearing but were turned down.
