Good news! McDonald’s burgers sold in Israel don’t contain pink slime, and never did.
Pink slime, a beef filler ingredient made from from slaughter house beef trimmings is freaking out consumers worldwide. The pink slime is made as meat parts are converted to pink slime as the meat passes through a centrifuge. Pink slime aroused a significant amount of controversy recently when it was discovered that it was being treated with ammonium hydroxide to kill e-coli and other harmful bacteria. When the pink slime story was first posted on Green Prophet we reported that the substance was found to be in use by some of the largest fast food chains in North America, especially McDonald’s. Although McDonald’s later announced that they are removing pink slime from their hamburger patties, other questionable chemical additives appear to be in use as well. But the good news for people who eat kosher McDonald’s in Israel and at other parts of the world: pink slime was never used, a spokesperson tells me.
