If you're going to a butcher, you should expect 4 star meat since you're paying 4 star prices. A butcher that sells questionable product probably won't be around for too long.
Whereas the chicken breast on special at the local Whole Foods may look fine but have a dodgy smell indicating that it's not as fresh as it may seem. Your nose will let you know if there's a lot of e. coli growing on that chicken.[0]
And no, everything on the shelf is not uniform. Watch how people buy fresh produce. Blemished produce gets put back.

- shaklee3 8y agoThat doesn't make sense. You have them cut it, ask to smell it, then give it back to wrap it?
- WorldMaker 8y agoActually yes, a good butcher will offer you a chance to inspect the cut before packaging it, definitely including smell as an option. (Though arguably the things people smell for, you can often smell as it is being cut, without needing that much proximity.) Some of the higher end butchers even let you touch it (with gloves) if that helps you be satisfied with your cut.
