BEEF PRODUCTS INC TO ANNOUNCE LAWSUIT DETAILS

BEEF PRODUCTS INCORPORATED WILL ANNOUNCE A MAJOR LAWSUIT REGARDING DEFAMATION OF THEIR LEAN FINELY TEXTURED BEEF.

THE COMPANY WILL CONDUCT A NEWS CONFERENCE THURSDAY MORNING AT ITS CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS IN DAKOTA DUNES, SOUTH DAKOTA TO DISCUSS DETAILS OF THE LAWSUIT.

THE COMPANY WAS FORCED TO CLOSE THREE OF ITS FOUR BEEF PROCESSING PLANTS THIS PAST YEAR AFTER NATIONAL MEDIA REPORTS REFERRED TO ITS BEEF IN DEROGATORY TERMS AND ALLEGED THAT THE MEAT WAS POTENTIALLY UNSAFE.

B-P-I HAS PROVIDED CONSUMERS WITH SAFE LEAN BEEF FOR 30 YEARS.
