Do you know what's in your beef?
If current reports are to be believed, then it likely contains the so-called pink slime. Called lean, finely textured meat by industry groups, "pink slime" is beef trimmings that have been processed to remove fat. The remaining beef is then often treated with ammonium hydroxide and integrated into ground beef. Although estimates vary, it is believed between 50 to 70 percent of the nation's ground beef contains up to 15 percent pink slime.
