Post by 12x7 »

Coles has started to put security in their meat packaging.

In the photo you can see that this meat is on special too!

Yeah surprised to see them on this range of cuts.
They have been in use for a while, I think Coles in Richmond was one of the first to use them due to the high theft of meat.
They are in use in both the majors as far as I know but more for eye fillet and the likes.
When I worked in supermarkets a few moons ago you be surprised where people shove stuff...Phew.. :roll:
Cheers.
