Stormy!!!!! It's VERY different than using beef, turkey or chicken bones to make stock lol...I don't put "ammonia" in my soup stock:) Now, I might oven roast the beef or veal bones with some veggies and use a little tomato paste rubbed on the bones before they go in the oven, and I wash but don't peel the onions, carrots or celery that I use for stock but ammonia??? Nope, that is in my glass cleaner...not stock.

It is called Lean Finely Textured Beef, LFTB, and before a Celebrity Chef wanted to make headlines and before the MEdia jumped in and created a hysterical reaction, the manufacture of LFTB employed a few thousand people and gave 2 cities a factory that employed them. And gave a less expensive product for those who have a hard time making ends meet. Nothing different than using the meaty soup bone to make delicious beef stock. It's scraped off the bones and made 'sanitary' (for want of a better word), and added to ground beef, which is already that which is left over from the steaks and chops. If one doesn't want to eat that, then don't use the beef bones (or chicken/turkey bones) for that great tasting soup that uses every last bit of the dinner so as to waste no, want not. That's as far off topic that I'll probably go today.. Happy 4th of JULY!!!!! Stormy On Jul 4, 2012, at 11:07 AM, Terry Cochran wrote: OK so I had to go look it up. the FDA at it's finest!

"Pink slime" (ammoniated boneless lean beef trimmings) is the nickname earned by a formerly inedible byproduct of the beef industry. Once used in pet food, it's now a cheap additive in ground beef. Pink Slime is an additive that the federal government has approved to be mixed in with ground beef. To make "real" beef stretch further, manufacturers can use this ammonia-infused beef as up to 15 percent of the product. Pink slime is now an additive in 70% of the ground beef in the U.S., which means that if youâ��re eating a burger, thereâ ��s a good chance youâ��re also eating Pink Slime.
