The company that makes "pink slime" suspended operations Monday at three of four plants where the beef ingredient is made, saying officials would work to address recent public concern about the product.
Beef Products Inc. will suspend operations at plants in Amarillo, Texas; Garden City, Kan.; and Waterloo, Iowa, according to Craig Letch, the company's director of food safety and quality assurance. The company's plant at its Dakota Dunes, S.D., headquarters will continue operations.
"We feel like when people can start to understand the truth and reality then our business will come back," Letch said. "It's 100 percent beef."

So what happens when we acheive this goal? Pilloried and lamblasted.
Not everyone needs to know how the sausage (or pink slime) is made!
This is a good thing, not bad. This process leads to much of the E. Coli contamination that occurs.
And nobody should be eating hot dogs either. They’re just as disgusting.
Sausage? All mine comes from a farm right in town. I know exactly what’s in it.
Everyone can eat what they want, I could care less. I have an unlimited supply of the best beef around right in my own town.
I know someone that has cause to go into the Iowa plant for servicing of machines. He says it’s the cleanest place he has ever been in. He was told that their biggest customer is McDonald’s. Will the gov shut them down, too?

You would think the hippies would be the first in line to get behind “meat recycling”...
As soon as BigMedia renamed their product slim they were doomed. BigMedia is responsible for all those people being out of a job.
has anyone ever seen Baloney being made before it is put into the casing and cooked?
That’s pink slime too
Perfectly good product; used for years; loud ignoramuses get the plants shut down...then they’ll scream just as loudly when the price of burger takes a jump because suddenly 900,000 pound/day of product is suddenly taken out of the market.
God help us all; the morons have won.
how many illegals will this put out of work?
some might call it a slime job.
a gubamint big enough to slime ya
is big enough to devour you.

Really curious where this started and I wonder if it’s possible to track back and find out. Someone with an agenda no doubt.
They call always sell their Pink Slime to SPAM or ALPO.
Thanks for the info. Sorry, I hadn’t heard that update. I don’t know if I approve or not. Can’t ignore the old saying “what we didn’t know...” Too many do-gooders trying to run the country.
I’ve been to BPI’s plants and they are the cleanest facilities I have even seen, I thought it was a dairy operation at first given the sterling clean facility. I’ve eaten their product and wouldn’t hestitate to continue to eat their products. Where they came up with a “slime” lable is beyond me, not a bit of that anywhere. Seeing it for yourself makes me a beliver in their product. And for those that stated it causes “e-coli”, it does just the opposite. Whoever would believe any story the media puts out today show they don’t have the ability to think and reason for themself. Sad to hear this happening to such a great company.
We could do something crazy and let the market decide. Include it on labeling and consumers can choose what they want.
I always suspect the Animal Rights folk when it’s anything to do with a meat product.
I’ve avoided pink slime for years. I buy from a local farmer and don’t eat fast food. Most ground beef in the grocery store has/had pink slime, but it does not have to be on the label because somebody lobbied to get the connective tissues and ammonia FDA approved to be called meat. I don’t think it is right for special interest groups to lobby for special names of ingredients that I would not put in my body.
That is exactly what happened. Private citizens pitched a fit and pink slime was taken out of some products. Those who put pink slime in their products do not put it on the label because they are not legally bound to do so. That is because they got the gubmint to allow them to call pink slime beef. You will never see it on a label.
