Safety of Beef Processing Method Is Questioned

[☭proletarian☭]

Eight years ago, federal officials were struggling to remove potentially deadly E. coli from hamburgers when an entrepreneurial company from South Dakota came up with a novel idea: injecting beef with ammonia.

The company, Beef Products Inc., had been looking to expand into the hamburger business with a product made from beef that included fatty trimmings the industry once relegated to pet food and cooking oil. The trimmings were particularly susceptible to contamination, but a study commissioned by the company showed that the ammonia process would kill E. coli as well as salmonella.

Yeah, but if a business truly only cares about profit, then that means they want to stay in business for the long term...which means offering safe food for consumer consumption.

Thats the problem half the time with the anti-business crowd. They never take their thoughts to a logical conclusion.

Now, would I knowingly eat beef that has been decontaminated with ammonia? Hell no. That just sounds gross.

Isn't ammonia bad for us? The concept strikes me as absurd.

It's like making Taco Bell edible by adding chlorine or sumtin'.

Enjoy our whatever-virus-the-bugs-carry, hippie!

In all serious though, I find this news unsettling. Perhaps it's time to pull out the muckrake and take a look at the meat industry again?

The only good grain is the one turned into booze or bread.
