That is not beef, and this photo is commonly used to misrepresent the product. It actually looks like this: I'd grill it.

I believe that photo is actually of mechanically separated chicken.

I understand that the process is similar to how they produce “pink slime”. The end result is a slurry.

I believe mechanically separated chicken may actually be sold as a stand alone product in the form of Chicken Nugget type foods. I could be wrong about that though.

The “pink slime”, aka “finely textured beef” is a beef filler which is added to ground beef. I think it is actually too lean, among other reasons, to be sold as a stand alone product.

‘Pink Slime’ in hamburgers actually made it safer - get ready for more ground beef related illnesses.
