Attorneys for ABC News spent Friday questioning the nutritional value of BPI’s lean fine-textured beef product, as the BPI vs. ABC trial concluded its first week. The trial will resume today.
Kerri Gehring, a Texas A&M meat sciences professor, said in her testimony that LFTB has similar nutritional value as ground beef. According to the Sioux City Journal, ABC lawyers challenged a BPI official's statement reported in one of the network's reports that LFTB was "as nutritious as any 94 percent lean meat product."
