        If you don’t see the insides of meat factories and market warehouses it doesn’t mean they are nice. Bet the refrigerator of your nearby supermarket was thoroughly cleaned in 2019.

          I’ve been in the factories and supermarkets as a worker and an inspector. It’s very rare (I don’t say impossible, because there’s always a chance) to find hair, sand, and other foreign objects in meat processed in registered factories - the cleanliness is pretty high up there because the fines are also high up there.

          But if you’re getting meat from an unregistered butcher/retailer, you’re on your own. You can also see/inspect the meat in the display case before you buy.
