The U!.S!.D stamp might of accidentally socked into the steak while in the freezer or defrosting if you have any concerns call the vendor Www@FoodAQ@Com
some breeders tatoo their livestock instead of branding them!. The purple is just the tatoo ink!. Perfectly harmless, but, i agree, it is unsightly!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It's the ink from the USDA inspector's stamp!. It's totally edible, but if it bothers you, simply slice it off!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
