Ammonia processing of hamburger
The more I look into our industrial food system, the less interested I am in being a participant. There is an article in the The New York Times about questions related to the efficacy of treating beef with ammonia to kill E. coli. Instead of dealing with the real problem, keeping the contents of the intestine from getting on the meat, Beef Products, Inc. came up with a method to gas the meat with ammonia to kill off the E. coli bacteria. And since this method is so effective, according to the USDA, the meat doesn't have to be inspected.
