Beef Products Inc., a company that makes pink slime, that ammonia-based filler for ground beef, has just announced that it will be suspending operations at three of its four plants:
Why are they doing this? Because of public concern, says the company's director of food safety.
But, are these suspensions really warrented? Apparently, the product has in the past been declared 'safe' by federal food regulators. And one food safety lawyer from Seattle, who had visited the Beef Products factory in South Dakora, thought that it operated with the highest standards of cleanliness.
On the other hand, though, this same lawyer referred to the so-called 'pink slime' products as 'gross.'
The U.S. Dept of Agriculture is going to begin offering schools alternatives to pink slime, and parents are asking school districts to simply stop serving the stuff now.

Is this all nothing more than a tempest in a teapot? Or is pink slime really as unhealthy and pure gross-out disgusting as it has been portrayed?
The lean beef product is NOT ammonia based but contains a small amount of ammonium hydroxide from its treatment with ammonia to prevent the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Nor is the product a filler since it is made from beef and has nutritional equivalency to beef. Try being accurate.
The ptoduct is being removed because of public hysteria engineered by a chef who does not like the product. As far as its "grossness" at certain points in its production, do not look into sausages then.

There is no such thing as "pink slime." It's just a name made up from an anti-beef propagandist. This is nothing but hysteria.

No, the suspensions are not warranted. They are the result of a dishonest smear campaign.

So what? That's just another emotional appeal. I'll make my food decisions on the facts, not emotions.

It's a dishonest smear campaign that made one misguided person famous for his 15 minutes. No one has been able to show in any way that lean beef trimmings treated with minute amounts of ammonia is in any way harmful.

OK, let's assume that what you say is true, have you ever actually been inside the plants? If not, it's not the 'facts' that you make your decisions upon, it's more like "What I don't know won't hurt me."

Sausages are deliciously disgusting.

They should at least let people know what going into their mouth; Don't be having people guessing. They said that Clone chicken doesn't have to be label. But if I'm on an organic or Kosher diet, I'll like to know.
