'Pink slime' dealt another blow as supermarket giant Safeways stops selling the ammonia treated beef remnants

...

Which one is pure ground beef and not "pink slime" leftover beef carcass treated with ammonia to kill infected meat?

The backlash against 'pink slime' is gathering pace with America’s second largest supermarket announcing that they will no longer sell beef with the controversial substance in it.

Pink slime, known in the meat industry as 'lean beef trimmings', is made up of the remnants of a cow carcass once all the muscular cuts of meat have been removed.

The lean of the meat is then separated from the fat using a form of centrifuge.
Because the meat comes from areas of the body more likely to be infected, it is sprayed with ammonium hydroxide to kill microbes which cause food poisoning.
