PINK SLIME (from wikipedia) How F**** lucky we are...... Canada banned it, UK banned it, Europe in general banned it.....it can only be used in making DOG FOOD. Unless you live in United States. In which case instead of feeding your dog with it, you can eat it yourself....yummy!!! :) In the United States, the additive itself cannot legally be sold directly to consumers. However, it can constitute up to 15 percent of ground beef without additional labeling,and it can also be added to other meat products such as beef-based processed meats. Prior to the invention of the disinfection process, beef scraps could not be processed to reduce or remove the fat, bone fragments or other non-beef components and could be sold for other uses only, such as pet food or as an ingredient for cooking oil. Because of the use of ammonium hydroxide in its processing, the product is not permitted in Canada. In a statement, Health Canada stated that: "Ammonia is not permitted in Canada to be used in ground beef or meats during their production." Such products also may not be imported, as Canadian law requires that imported meat products meet the same standards and requirements as domestic meat. Canada does allow Finely Textured Meat (FTM) to be "used in the preparation of ground meat" and "identified as ground meat" under certain conditions. The product does not meet the legal requirements for sale in the United Kingdom,and the European Union has banned it and other mechanically-separated meats for human consumption.
