Yes! It is simply the turkey trimmings ground up. Bones, tongues, beaks, feet, etc. all soaked in ammonia as well.
Pink slime was a substance used in McDonald's beef burgers but is no longer used. There is no equivalent used in ground turkey.
"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.
Shop Rite customer service says their ground beef does not contain lean beef trimmings (pink slime).
No, it is only beef that has pink slime. It is usually in cheap school lunches too.
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.
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.

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.
They do, but they also offer many brands in all stores that do not contain pink slime.

Not anymore. As of 2012, McDonald's has dropped the use of pink slime.
