The Loblaw grocery chain overcharged customers by selling underweighted meat across 80 stores for an undisclosed period that ended in December 2023, a CBC News investigation has found.
When I worked for a Loblaws company I did meat seafood and deli.
Step 1 was always take the tray and tare it out on the scale so this wouldn’t happen.
The fact this was widespread and they just say it was the new packaging does not stand up to me. You could sell the meat on lead bricks and the first step of taring would negate it.

Mmm delicious lead brick meat.
Just like ma used to make! Before the lead got to her…
You could say that lead to her downfall?
The only other materials I thought of were uranium and tungsten. Maybe tungsten would make a better plate.
Uranium would be the best, delicious and it glows in the dark!
Showerthought: Someone somewhere probably attempted to sell “meat that cooks while it’s shipped!” with radioactive plates/packaging.
Early 20th century snakeoil salesmen were wild when it came to radioactive shit.
