During the first week of the lockdown, retail sales doubled.
The survey and analysis were done by the FMI –The Food Industry Association and the Foundation for Meat and Poultry Research and Education, the foundation of the North American Meat Institute.
Rick Stein, FMI vice president, said "we witnessed that consumers did not discriminate over the type of meat, as beef, chicken, pork, fresh, frozen, or processed were all loaded into shopping carts week after week.”
