Meat Glue – The New Pink Slime? The New Mad Cow?

This stuff isn’t used in the plants I visit so I don’t now where it is “common”. I haven’t seen it used around here at all. All our HRI suppliers use whole cuts for their filet mignons, not “formed” or glued meat.
I wouldn’t count on the wait staff to know where the meat comes from either. You’re likely to get that deer in headlights look and the response will be something like “the box says (insert company here).
Like the reporter said, if the restaraunt/seller is selling the filet mignons super cheap, then it’s probably this crap. The chefs themselves may be using it also, if they’re trying to pass of cheaper meat for a more expensive cut. Order your filets well done just in case!
