“Pink Slime.”

Sounds delightful right? Maybe if you’re talking about Nickelodeon’s slime park.

Pink slime, also known as lean finely textured beef or lean beef trimmings, is a product that was previously only used for pet food.

In 2001, however, the product became approved by the United States Department of Agriculture for use as an additive in various beef food products.

As of now, food can be composed of up to 15 per cent lean beef trimmings before companies are required to show it on the ingredient label.

My mother worked in commercial insurance for many years. She said that even accidental ammonia exposure was always excluded on liability policies.
