'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 ?
Soylent Green - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Its worse than that from some accounts...................

Reporter John Eckhouse was one of the first people to discover the practice of sending euthanized pets to the rendering plants. A rendering plant employee was quoted as saying “thousands and thousands of pounds of dogs and cats are picked up and brought here everyday”. Although many in the pet food industry deny they use euthanized animals, proof that the practice goes on continues to surface. Research done on rendering plants that sell meat to pet food companies found that the rendering plants accept everything from road kill, dead zoo animals and euthanized pets from both shelters and veterinary clinics. One such plant was found to have rendered 11 tons of dogs and cats in one week! Another plant in California reported processing an average of 200 ton of dogs and cats per month.

In the 1990’s veterinarians began reporting to the FDA/CVM that the drug they used for anesthetizing and euthanizing pets, sodium pentobarital, seemed to be losing its effectiveness. This prompted the CVM to research the cause. In 1998 they went about testing dry dog food containing the ingredients meat and bone meal, animal digest and animal fat. They found the drug sodium pentobarital in 31 of the 37 pet foods tested. They concluded that animals were becoming immune to the drug from eating food laced with sodium pentobarbital, and the likely source of the chemical was euthanized animals.

I switched to a home cooked natural diet for my animals years ago, and they have been healthier than ever before since
