Macrina Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 http://www.grist.org/article/2010-01-05-cheap-food-ammonia-burgers/ Glad I gave up fast food meat more than a year ago. I wouldn't have been able to read this if I had known I had consumed pink slime recently. "To make a long story short: Beef Products buys the cheapest, least desirable beef on offer—fatty sweepings from the slaughterhouse floor, which are notoriously rife with pathogens like E. coli 0157 and antibiotic-resistant salmonella. It sends the scraps through a series of machines, grinds them into a paste, separates out the fat, and laces the substance with ammonia to kill pathogens."
