Taken From the Lowell Sun:
Tewksbury-based Demoulas Supermarkets Inc., which has about 65 Market Basket stores in the region, decided last week to stop replenishing its stock of "pink slime" products, said David McLean, Market Basket operations manager. Even though there's been no food-safety recall of the product, "we have customers that have concerns and we want them to be satisfied," he said.
Some does, but there are moves in several states and countries to restrict its use. "Pink slime" is animal connective tissue and organ linings (not muscle tissue) that is labeled as "lean finely textured beef" but there continue to be legal questions as to whether it can be called "beef" at all.
Wegman's says it does not use the so-called pink slime in its ground beef.
No, it does not have pink slime.
It does
Shop Rite customer service says their ground beef does not contain lean beef trimmings (pink slime).
Pink slime is processed ground beef that has most of the fat removed with ammonia. Since it is made from ground beef, its safe to assume that it isn't in chicken mcnuggets.
No, they have never used it in their ground beef.
No, it is only beef that has pink slime. It is usually in cheap school lunches too.
Pink slime was a substance used in McDonald's beef burgers but is no longer used. There is no equivalent used in ground turkey.
Yes
"Pink slime" is beef trimmings. Once only used in dog food and cooking oil, the trimmings are now sprayed with ammonia so they are safe to eat and added to most ground beef as a cheaper filler.
They do, but they also offer many brands in all stores that do not contain pink slime. Kroger has the following products: -Private Selection Angus Ground Chuck, Gourmet Angus Patties, and Angus Ground Sirloin. -Laura's Lean Ground Beef -Private Selection All Natural Ground Beef sold in a 1-lb. package. 80% Lean and 90% Lean. -Private Selection Organic Ground Beef in a 1-lb. package. 85% lean. -Store-made ground beef from store trimmings prepared in store.
Smith's = Kroger's. Therefore you can google pink slime + Kroger and get the answer to your question about pink slime. My memory is that you are safe with Laura Lean ground beef and Private Selection ground beefs.
Sams Club / Wal-Mart announced March 22, 2012 that it would no longer sell ground beef with the additive known as "pink slime". This is just not true for the Sam's club in Dallas. I went in this saturday April 6th and I spoke with the meat department directly and he told me that they dont call it pink slime but yes its in their meat and it is perfectly healthy. This disturbed me because every post online says they dont carry it but they are selling it. Sam's offered no alternative.
According to a press release from RRGB, they have never purchased or served any beef with "pink slime".
