Meat Glue: It sounds utterly repellent; like some pre-industrial, rustic adhesive, but it's actually a fine, tasteless powder that looks like icing sugar and is it makes meat and other proteins stick together like super glue. If your eating meat, chances are you're eating or have eaten the glue at some point.
...
"The problem is that Thrombian-enhanced products look like real meat. It is the dishonesty in it that makes us think that it is not okay," said Bertoft. For example, pork tenderloin can have numerous small parts fused together to produce what will appear to be a full fillet.
...
However, the glue also raises food-safety issues, says Keith Warriner, an associate professor of food science at the University of Guelph, in a phone interview from his office. If there is a bacteria outbreak, it’s much harder to figure out the source when chunks of meat from multiple cows were combined.
"Why are we wearing these masks?"
"See that powder, don't breath that in."
:eek:
Won't stop me from eating meat, but will help me shop smarter...
