Meat Glue: The Meat Industry`s Dirty Little Secret
'Meat glue' is white powder sold by the kilo, - the meat industry's dirty little secret. Meat glue is transglutaminase, an enzyme derived from beef or pork blood plasma in powder form, it makes pieces of beef, lamb, chicken or fish that would normally be thrown out stick together so closely that it looks like a solid piece of meat. Oh and here is the big kicker - you don`t have to tell the customer, once glued together and cooked, no one can tell the difference-not even the professionals.
Even though meat glue was banned by the European Parliament in May 2010, a study in the U.S. trying to get the nod by the FDA says its safe but guess what, the product manufacturer Ajinomoto funded the study. Meat glue is readily available online and sold by the kilo throughout the food and meat industry.
