Have you heard of meat glue? It is also being used as much as pink slime = A LOT. Meat glue is a powder officially known as transglutaminase. Originally, the natural enzyme was harvested from animal blood. Now its primarily produced through the fermentation of bacteria. Added to meat, it forms a nearly invisible and permanent bond to any other meat you stick it to. Heres the problem: the outside of a piece of meat comes in contact with a lot of bacteria making its way from slaughterhouse to table. Usually cooking a steak on the outside will kill all that off. The center of a single cut of steak is sterile, thats why you can eat it rare. But glued pieces of meat could contain bacteria like E. coli on the inside. abclocal.go/kabc/story?id=8642900
