A Reliable source for Bais-Yosef beef is
SOLOMONS & Fischels. It's under the hashgocha of New Square Bais din. It's strictly North American beef.
Alle / Meal Mart has changed their Bais Yosef standards in their beef.
The NPGS / Lakewood Co-op's beef, even though much of it is labeled as Bais Yosef, should not be relied upon to be Bais yosef.

The salami packages I bought from Solomon's in my opinion do not have a proper choisam. You can peel off the whole face with little effort. The only thing holding back the peel-off is a mini sticker of an OU hologram. It is not as easy to put everything back the way it was but I think it could be done without major effort. The salami packages look easier than the other cold cuts but I think they could all be manipulated.
Maybe there is still a siman however because the tzurah of the salami & corned beef is different than any other brand I am familiar with. But then again I am only bakant with kosher brands, not treif.

Sources tell me that the Mashgiach, Rav Matisyahu Salomon, שליט"א, is in Israel, having just landed at Lod Airport. He will make his way to Rehov Rashbam in Bene Beraq to see the elderly Rav Chaim Kanievski, tzu lange yohren. Once at RCK's home he will personally invite him to the Kinus Klal Yisroel, scheduled to take at Citifield in Queens, New York on Sunday, 28 Iyar. It must be noted that the elderly RCK has not left the Holy Land since arriving there as a child, circa 1933. Why then would RMS invite him? Apparently Rav Matisyahu was in Israel a few months ago on another matter and went to see Reb Chaim to receive his blessing. He then proceeded to invite RCK to the gathering that would take place before Shavuous, to which Reb Chaim answered: "איך וועל קומען צוזאמען מיט'ן שווער." His shver is הרב אלישיב, who has been hospitalized for some weeks now, so he won't be traveling to Queens. But that's beside the point. Rav Elyashiv came to Israel as a 10 year boy and has never left either! So we can safely assume that Reb Chaim will not be attending. But Rav Matisyahu is not deterred! He will plead his case before Reb Chaim and get him to come.... Reb Chaim did say that it was incumbent to close the גמרא and attend, but I'm not sure if it supersedes the prohibition of leaving the Holy Land, which Reb Chaim and his shver both adhere to, seeing as they've never left.
Bulletins as they come in...
What changes were implemented?

This company is under 'Sachdis (although the packaging encourages you to go to the website Chabad.org).
They make vegetable-cheese kreplach that has small pieces of spinach like the size of a dime or less.
Do you think 'Sachdis is doing any additional checking on the "backwashed" spinach out there?
I am very disappointed that you would trust New Square kashrus. The rule is "not honest in business, not honest in kashrus" you of all people should know that.
Where did the Ichud get the money for the 14 page glossy color booklet being dropped off in shuls & supermarkets? It must have cost a fortune to produce & distribute. They even managed to get it to one shul where the rov is against the assifah & no one is going. The shul is only open on Shabbos and the building is not even easy to find so how did they get it inside?
I would have said gezunte heit to all this if not that they are promoting themselves with a picture & identification on the back page of the kotton hador "Harav" Lipa Margulies. For those of you unfamiliar with that scoundrel, he used to be the bus driver at Torah Vodaas before stealing from the yeshiva to found & become the "rosh hayeshiva" of Torah Temimah. He went on to harbor child molesters for decades until the aynikel of Rav Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz ztl exposed this massive travesty & fraud. He is a mesarev ladin many times over which is a chiyuv vos shtait in Shulchan Aruch to be mefarsem & mevazeh him. Yet he is given the kovod of sitting at a dais-like table with R' Matisyahu Salomon & R' Aron Schechter!
5 Towns Jewish Times publisher "Larry" Gordon is a lapsed Crown Heights Lubavitcher who grew up davening in 770. His paper is full of treif food & treif hashkofos but the Agudah & Yated let him get away with it for 2 reasons. A. He fights with all his might to protect Rubashkin including publishing articles bashing the biggest talmidei chochochim in the 5 Towns because they sided with gedolei Eretz Yisroel that Rubashkin fundraising assifos are inappropriate. B. His shver is one of the alter Novardhokers who was exiled to Siberia. So is Avi Shafran's father & Gordon's shver saved the life of Shafran Sr. once. These 2 clowns Avi & Larry write sickening articles lavishing praise on each other and also promoting a new neighborhood in Rockland County. There is barely a minyan of frumma there but they include Larry's son & Shafran's daughter. They are writing puff pieces about it to attract more people to move in & raise their kids' real estate values.

Spotlight. Don't play dumb when it comes to sports.
You know very well that when you go there (and you or the Kinderlach are starving by the seventh inning) you have to buy something and even the nosh is very very expensive. The "Yeshivah Light" (as opposed to Spotlight) can't afford that. Therefore a nosh is included in the entry fee which will be given to everyone attending.
Solomon's fixed the blister packed deli so that the face does not peel off anymore
Larry Gordon's daughter married the son of Franklin from Pelleh Poultry.
Even mishpocho has to pay Larry to get an ad in the paper or else why isn't 5 Towns Jewish Times blanketed with Pelleh advertisements? I don't think there has been a single ad in the paper from Pelleh ever.
Is Rubashkin paying up front for all the ads from Agri and now Tevya's?
Is Pelleh the only operation that is shechting pigeon, otherwise known as squab?
Suit stores are pushing that Lee Ave shatnez is reliable according to Rav Belsky & R' Dovid Feinstein.
If you still insist you don't want Lee Ave they send somewhere in Lakewood by Fedex.
I asked who gives hashgocho to the lab they use in Lakewood so they called the lab who said Rav Forscheimer gives the hashgocho.
I might be mistaken but I think the suit store said the Lakewood checker's last name starts with a K and sounded familiar. I just remembered that someone in Monsey with that name was accused of not knowing how to check. Does he have a Lakewood branch and would Rav Forscheimer really give him hashgocho?
NPGS is touting that they only use Alle North America, not South America.
