Not happy with processor- what is this?

[charliethezero]

I'm in the middle of a move so I desided to send my birds to processor. First the packaging is completely unprofessional (loose plastic bag with twist tie) so now I'm repackaging and looking inside them, the processor missed several organs on 6 out of 8 birds. I'm slightly upset now. Learned my lesson and will always just butcher my birds myself.

I believe those would be his testis.

Ouch! Is this a licensed processor? I could do a better job when I was 10 yrs old.

Surprised you didn't find part of a finger.

Looks like he butchered your birds.

At least the processor got the feathers off.....but he only 'cleaned' the outside? Perhaps processor was in a rush and 'forgot' to finish up?

I'd call them and ask - they might have a new employee - but something should be said, gracefully, to the butcher. Whoops, you forgot to grab his innards!

Yeah, I called them up to tell them they missed the lungs, testicles and other things on six of the eight birds I brought in. All he said after I asked for a partial refund was "well they're pretty much cleaned, that should be good enough". Very unprofessional processing, packaging, and customer service.

Their job on the left, my repackaging on right (it was still semi frozen when I shrink wrapped it)

Didn't you mean theirs on the left and yours on the right????

 

[charliethezero]

Yes! Mine's on the right. I can't think right now, I may need sleep

I'm going to thaw out the rest of the birds completely before shrink wrapping. That way I don't get that air by/from the frozen legs.

 

[SmokinChick]

I'd leave them frozen. Clean them when you thaw to cook. Not sure thawing twice is good for the meat.
Just my $.02, Good luck to you.

Okay. Do you think I could still shrink wrap them while frozen to prevent freezer burn or is it a lost cause?
