I bought ground beef last week at food lion in inman ($.99/pound) I took out of pack and repackaged, therefore I don’t know if the info given applies to that package.

I couldn’t find any further info on the websites, do you know if it was regular packaged meat (strofoam container/shrink wrap or was it prepackaged?)
