The trendy “farm to door” meat purveyor Belcampo has admitted to misrepresenting the origin of meats sold at a store in Santa Monica, after an employee posted an Instagram video that charged the company’s products were not all they claimed to be. “Shame on Belcampo Meat Co,” said another poster on Facebook. Stop lighting your money on fire.”In a statement to the Guardian, the company co-founder Anya Fernald described the issue as an “isolated incident at the Santa Monica Butcher Shop”. The company’s statement said that the employee who posted the video had recently been terminated and the practices in the Santa Monica store had been corrected. “Now here we have a Belcampo employee saying the meat company is lying about its sourcing,” wrote Katherine Spiers, a food editor, on Twitter.
