Exposure Sends The Cockroaches Scurrying

You'll notice "cessation of use" isn't in the near future.

'Pink slime' beef production put on hold



"A US company that makes a beef product often referred to as "pink slime" is suspending production at three of four plants amid concern about the product.

Beef Products Inc said it hopes business will return once fears about the product die down.

Officially known as "lean, finely textured beef", so-called "pink slime" is made from left-over cuts and is up to 97% beef, a spokesman said.

US schools have been allowed to stop serving the food at mealtimes.

"We feel like when people can start to understand the truth and reality then our business will come back," Beef Products spokesman Chris Letch said.

Federal regulators say the beef ingredient meets food safety standards, but critics say the food is unappetising and possibly unsafe.

The beef is heated and spun in a centrifuge to separate the meat from the fat, before the final product is treated with a puff of ammonium hydroxide gas to kill any bacteria.

Earlier this month a social media campaign against the use of the food was followed by an announcement by the US agriculture department that schools would be allowed to choose alternative beef supplies.

Some school districts and retailers have already chosen to stop using it.

The three Beef Products Inc plants being wound down are located in Amarillo, Texas; Garden City, Kansas; and Waterloo, Iowa. Together they produce about 900,000lb (408,000kg) of the beef product per day, the company says."

Do you grasp the propaganda here? "Puff of ammonium hydroxide" "Beef product".
This is killer poison, passed off as something normal in food supply, that greatly enhances corporate profits by fucking you up. "Spare trimmings of beef" is a euphemism for inedible, not-fit-for-human-consumption crap that's mixed in with legitimate ground flesh after being doused with poisonous chemicals to render it less harmful.
Reason why it's doused? It's disgusting parts of the animal most likely to harbor pathogens.
Have it your way. Bon Appetit.
