It's actually a pork steak. Pork steaks are popular where I am from but aren't seen often outside of my area. I highly suggest trying one if you ever get the chance.

You know, it looks like it could actually be a pork steak in there (Pork butt cut into steaks)

Pork steaks are pretty popular in my area, not sure about where you are at though.

Was gonna say this, I think it is just pork; people in the USA are just used to beef being colored bright red so assume that darker pork is a beef steak.

To me it looks like a pork center-cut rib chop and a pork loin chop. Rib chops (presumably the bottom piece) are usually darker in color than the standard loin chop (the top piece behind the label). When I package the pork chops I cut, I always have the rib chops started at the bottom, becauee they are usually the bigger of the cuts. Then I will place in a layer, the sirloin and loin chops to complete the package (usually with 6 chops in one value pack). Which what appears to be done here too.

Well I've made what I thought were obvious sarcastic statements only to be met with real criticism so now I just put it no matter how obvious it should be.

That’s a pork steak. Pork is actually supposed to be that red color not the pale stuff we see. Usually the higher quality pork like that goes to Asia because they pay for it and we don’t know the difference

That's a pork rib chop. Essentially the prime rib steak of pork chops. Darker color than the center chop (comparable to a t-bone for beef) that is on the right.

Not Giant's best looking pack of pork chops. I'm Joe, the mod over at /r/AskAButcher. Giant, as well as all the other Ahold subsidiaries use centralized meatcutting to fill their cases. Quality control can be questionable in my experience.

If this actually does happen in the future, it will be problematic because the steak would then have to be cooked to 165 since it is soaking in pork juices. It would kinda render the steak useless. That would be some dry steak.

Cross contamination of raw meats? I'd contact corporate and notify them before someone gets killed.

It's not chicken on top of salmon.... Beef and pork can both be cooked to 145+ and be safe.

Hope you are joking about raw meat cross contaminating another raw meat

It can happen but more so with something like fish and chicken, two meats that need to be cooked to different temps to be safe to eat shouldn’t be stored touching each other raw.

Craigorystillhard1 t1_ja1o4pb wrote

That’s incorrect you can look it up the government department of agriculture and many other government websites state raw meats can’t be with anything you don’t cook but fine with other raw meats as long as you cook them
