>Pink slime is basically cuts of meat from around organs that are possibly contaminated by bacteria. It's grounded very finely and sanitized with ammonia gas so that It's safe to eat. It is the lowest quality meat you can safely consume, absolutely nigger tier, but there's a lot of unjust fear mongering surrounding it.
that's completely false.
It's cuts of beef, and ONLY beef that were trimmed off when making primal cuts for sale.
It does not come from "organs", meat is MUSCLE, muscles do not attach to fucking organs. They attach to bones. Do you even know how muscles work?
Do you think that when you flex your six pack your organs are being pulled by your muscles? You fucking retard.
No, the meat scrap meat left over from cutting big unwieldy cuts into attractive cooking cuts.
When you portion a cow flank into flank steak, you might get like a dozen nice ones, and one measly one that would never sell, so you toss that one into the scrap pile, or you get a bunch of meat left over on a bone that can't be cut off into a big enough piece to sell or grind into proper burger. Maybe it has too much gristle or fat.
So, you process a dozen cows and you end up with a big fucking bin full of scrap meat. It's all edible, and just as fine as the rest of the meat, but you can't sell it, and it's too fatty or gristly for hamburger.
You can either sell it as dog food, or make it into "pink slime" or throw it away.
The "pink slime" process is they throw all the meat into a big industrial grinder that it operating at 110F, it heats the meat up, but not enough to cook it. Just enough to render the fat and soften the gristle into gelatin.
After its all ground up, you throw the mess into a centrifuge and spin it to pull out all the fat and gelatin you can.
The remaining mess is the pink goo.
Because it's been at 110F for a while, it might be infected by bacteria. Bacteria love warm, wet things, so it needs to be disinfected.
