Summary:
The media storm that has labeled ground beef filler “pink slime” has caused the shut down of four plants and the laying off of 650 people. The effect continues to resonate through the corporate ladder. The South Dakota based company and 152 of its corporate staff are anticipating cuts to the corporate structure as well. Although the beef is deemed safe to eat, the impact of the media stir has hit BPI to the point of no recovery.
