Is Pink Slime really safe for humans,
was it really safe for your pets.
No Pink Slime at Publix
I
have received a ton of emails
about pink slime from readers over the past week or so.
I
have to tell you guys I had never heard of it before I started clicking some of
the links that you guys sent to me. Now, I wish I had never found out as it
makes me just nauseous to think about!
Warning…if
you are squeamish – skip past this paragraph! Pink slime is a meat
byproduct where otherwise unusable cuts are mixed with ammonium hydroxide in a
centrifuge to produce food for humans. According to an article from abc news, this cheap meat filler, is in 70 percent of the
ground beef sold at supermarkets
and up to 25 percent of each American hamburger patty, by some estimates.
I
have good news for all of us who shop at Publix. Publix does NOT use pink slime
in their ground beef. Yet another reason why I Heart Publix

Which store's has Pink Slime in some of
their meat!
Is Pink Slime in the Beef at Your
Grocery Store?
“It kind of looks like play dough,” said
Kit Foshee, who was a corporate quality assurance manager at Beef Products
Inc., the company that makes pink slime. “It’s pink and frozen, it’s not what
the typical person would consider meat.”
As seen in the movie Food Inc., the
low-grade trimmings come from the most contaminated parts of the cow and were
once only used in dog food and cooking oil. But because of BPI’s treatment of
the trimmings — simmering them in low heat, separating fat and tissue using a
centrifuge and spraying them with ammonia gas to kill germs — the United States
Department of Agriculture says it’s safe to eat.
