I can guess the government answer. More burdensome regulations that do nothing to actually protect the food supply and the consumer but only serve to make it harder for law abiding businesses to make and sell their product.
I buy Amish chicken myself.
Do they have their own teeny-tiny buggies or do they hitch a ride from one of “Der Anglisch” chickens?
This is to avoid using radiation on the meat I suppose ~ that process being too icky and dangerous ~ and here I was just the other day trying to convince my Senator to add an amendment to the health care bill that would allow us to raise our own cattle in cities ~ in our basements.
PPPTH! Thats a wackjob website.
Actually it looks like Ammonia is pretty harmless in low levels for human consumption.
If people actually looked at the things injected or mixed in the foods at grocery stores, they’d never eat anything but lettuce and sticks ever again.
Good thing I don’t look.
If you don’t eat from your garden or buy from a butcher, you’re probably eating something that no one can pronounce or spell.
One thing I love about my little 13 acres in Kentucky is growing my own beef. One calf purchase gives me enough meet for over a year.
I even know my dinner’s name!

I grant you that it isn’t the same thing (in your example above).
But to exempt them from the USDA inspections? No factory processing should ever be exempt just because they do things a certain way. Contamination can always occur, from unepected sources. You could have a great process, where nothing gets contaminated on the line, but have your packaging at the end of the line be contaminated so your final product goes out contaminated. Physical line inspections, which are lax now at best due to limited ability to inspect, need to be done.
:) I'm just posting a link for the story above.
It doesn't sound tasty but this article has the same sense of panic that irradiaton had.
I say BS!.
My guess is the McDonald's is extremely careful and concerned about the quality of meat that goes into the hamburgers they sell.

The ammonia is mixed with dihydrogen monoxide. Coincidence?
Go ahead, reject the truth my friend because you eat the crap, you need to decide to believe the truth, or live a delusion ... This can be denied, but it is true.
