Pink slime served to school children

SOYLENT PINK SLIME

Just Weird – Grind together connective tissue, beef scraps, then flavor with ammonia hydroxide – to kill salmonella and other E. coli – and voila, you have hamburgers for school children. The recipe comes from Beef Products Inc., and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is purchasing seven million pounds of it to make hamburgers for school lunches.

A decade ago, Gerald Zirnstein, former microbiologist at the Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS), said he did not “consider the stuff to be ground beef,” and Carl Custer, also of the FSIS, agrees with him.

“We looked at the product and we objected to it because it used connective tissues instead of muscle. It was simply not nutritionally equivalent [to ground beef]. My main objection was that it was not meat.”
