<p> The Siouxland Chamber of Commerce in Sioux City, IA, organized a public picnic and rally on March 31 in support of lean finely textured beef and its maker, BPI Inc., Attendees were supplied with free hamburgers with all the fixings. Attendees had the opportunity to pick up a button and information about LFTB and BPI as they entered the area.</p>

Thousands gathered in Sioux City, IA, this weekend to slake their appetite for tasty wholesome hamburgers, while showing their support for local ground beef producer, BPI. Hosted by the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce, attendees were both fed and educated on the process, healthfulness and wholesomeness of lean finely textured beef.

It’s a USDA-approved process and product in use for two decades. It utilizes high-technology food processing equipment to separate lean meat from fat. Doing so garners an additional 12 lbs. of lean beef/carcass, and delivers an additional $15/carcass in value. Photos by Loretta Sorensen, a freelance reporter from Yankton, SD.
