Overloaded meat processor swamped by complaints

Link: Fairbanks Daily News-Miner Tanana Valley Meats, a newly USDA-certified slaughterhouse in Fairbanks, was overwhelmed by the number of moose carcasses brought in by Interior hunters this fall. The result: Delays of months in meat processing and delivery of rancid meat back to some customers. "I know we have unhappy people," plant manager Scott Miller said. "... For the most part, people have been nice about it. People don't seem to want to drive us out of business or bankrupt us." Troopers say they are conferring with the state to determine whether charges will be filed, but there are few or no laws regulating game meat processing.
