McDonald’s drops use of ‘pink slime’ in U.S. meat
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver can claim one more victory in his food revolution after McDonald’s stopped using what he called “pink slime” in its burgers.
On Thursday, McDonald’s USA announced it was discontinuing the use of ammonium hydroxide in its beef.
The Naked Chef had publicly denounced the use of the additive on his show, Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution. He questioned how the U.S. Food and Drug Administration could allow the compound to be used in foods.
Ammonium hydroxide is made of water and ammonia and is used to kill bacteria. Typically it is used in household cleaning products.
On one episode of his show, Mr. Oliver said that beef producers take beef “trimmings” that would normally go to dog food and wash it with the compound until it is fit for human consumption.
“Imagine how happy an accountant is, you just turned dog food into what can potentially be your kids’ food,” he said on the episode. (Photo: Jean Levac/Postmedia News files)
Zombie cheeseburger? McDonald’s patty, bun, cheese unchanged after one year sitting on kitchen counter
Whenever Melanie Hesketh’s kids get a hankering for junk food, all she has to do is point to the kitchen counter.
That’s where she keeps an unwrapped cheeseburger that turns one on Thursday, and it looks pretty much the same as the day it came off a McDonald’s grill.
Mould, maggots, fungi, bacteria — all have avoided the tempting meal that sits in plain view.
“Obviously it makes me wonder why we choose to eat food like this when even bacteria won’t eat it,” said Ms. Hesketh.
The meat patty has shrunk a bit, but it still looks edible and, with a faint but lingering greasy, leathery odour, she said it “still smells slightly like a burger … it hasn’t changed much.” (Photo: Tyler Brownbridge/The Windsor Star)

A smashing success
To attempt the burger of the moment, you need a griddle, not a grill.
