'Pink slime' company seeks bankruptcy protection - Business - CBC News
One of the beleaguered companies behind the so-called "pink slime" beef product has filed for bankruptcy protection.
AFA Foods says negative media coverage around its products has led to "changes in the market" and cut demand. It filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Delaware on Monday.
The so-called "pink slime" is called "lean, finely textured beef" in the food industry, and is comprised of fatty cuts of meat unsuitable for use in other products.
The meat is treated with ammonia to kill any bacteria that may be present, and is often used as filler in ground beef.
The process is approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the U.S., as well as the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
A growing movement against the product has brought backlash against the companies that make it. Many fast-food restaurants and supermarkets in the United States have stopped using the product, significantly cutting demand.
How this crap got on our tables in the first place is the real question. Was this a calculated step leading to soylent green for humans ?
