Food Safety Recent concerns in the news about food safety prompt us to explicitly state our commitment to the highest safety standards possible. This in fact has been a long standing policy with us, dating even before the mid-1950's when E.A. Miller was a pioneer in the establishment of a uniform code of meat inspection for Utah. In 1956 the company applied for and was granted federal meat inspection (FDA) on each animal processed and a strict sanitation inspection of plant facilities, equipment, and transportation. This gave E.A. Miller the right to sell its beef anywhere, thereby moving the company into the worldwide marketplace. Today, All products available from Miller’s Blue Ribbon Beef, have gone through our multiple hurdle intervention food safety program. This 5 step pathogen reduction program is clinically certified to reduce the incidence of potentially harmful bacteria by a staggering 99.99%. You are guaranteed with your purchase of Miller's Blue Ribbon Beef that you are getting beef processed in the most highly sanitized commercial environment available. For your added protection, all products are vacuum packaged and boxed in specially designed and labeled materials featuring the Miller's Blue Ribbon logo. Miller's Blue Ribbon has recently entered into a third party arrangement with Sterling Solutions, LLC to administer a USDA approved system of source and age verification, tracking cattle from birth through the production process. This is a valuable tool to guarantee the source and age verification requirements of the beef purchased by our family of customers. Miller's Blue Ribbon is listed by Sterling as a preferred packer.
