I think reconstituted is that pink gloopy crap, reclaimed is "actual" meat, that is my understanding of it.

Fortunately, no. You cannot declare that on a label as meat. Meat is meat as you or I would know it. It can't be offal, noses, ears, skin etc. It has to be from a defined cut to be called meat. You can massage it off a bone and call it 3mm mince of course, but you can't call it meat.

If you look at labels, they don't say meat - they say chicken, pork, beef etc. Any MRM or MSM products cannot be declared like that on the label, they have to be labelled up in the most grim manner possible (to put you off) which stops people using them.

It's market economics. You don't want to eat it, so the producers don't supply it.

I dunno depends how literally it applies. Making 100% ultra expensive steak into a burger patty would be mechanically reconstituting it if taken literally.

How it applies is very tightly defined by the regulations.

The term you would have to apply legally is mincing.

So the legal name would be "Minced, formed, beef"

The ingredient declaration would be "Beef"

The description on the pack could be something like "Best steak minced and hand-formed into a delicious burger".

Even the picture can't be too far from the actual product.

So that's basically, it doesn't contain bombs/animals/immigrants? :D

Almost. I do the bombs, Customs do the animals and Immigration handles the Immigrants.

As an example the legal description would be "Minced Beef with Semtex"

The Ingredient delaration would be "Beef (90%), Semtex 10 (Pentaerythritol tetranitrate, cyclotrimethylene trinitramine, binding agent (styrene-butadiene), plasticizer (n-octyl phthalate, tributyl citrate), antioxidant (N-phenyl-2-naphthylamine), natural colours)"

The description on the pack could be "Best steak with added military grade explosive for explosive wind" :)

Im with the Northern Irish lot WJA96. Was recently over there infact doing some meetings and systems work. Which you with or customer based? Or even an auditor based on your BRC comments?

We recently went through one of our Tesco PIU audits and as usual things were fine. The things they do pick up on minors however is always interesting reading as some of it you just wouldnt think of. I have not been in the industry that long but am always learning just how well controlled it is. Having worked here and seen the way the products are produced, I am still happy to eat them.

I'm a consultant and I work both sides. I'm also a certified BRC and ISO 22000:2005 auditor. I used to do work at the Moira and Dungannon sites. Good to know there's more than one foodie on here. ;)
 
Know the Dungannon one but Moira closed from my understanding. Spend most of my time this side of the water. Might be spending more time in Craigavon next year though.


I work IT for the group and systems support/development so I dont get too close to the food side. Need to know enough to make decisions though so always good to learn :)

But don't McD's advertise that they are made from 100% chicken breast?

:confused:
Click to expand...

yes and they are the op's video has nothing to do with Mcdonalds nor does it claim to have anything to do with mcdonalds the op just decided he would add that as... actually **** knows why he seems to like trolling.
 
lol...nice assumption for mcdonalds there

from the comments:

You would never find yourself eating a chicken nugget or a patty made from MSC. They are mostly made for lost cost feeding programs such as prisons.

The people below saying that its made from ground up chickens are incorrect. After the chicken is deboned and you have removed the breasts, drums, wings and so on you are left with the chicken carcass, which is just a bunch of bone with tiny pieces of meat attached. That is thrown into a special machine that grinds it up and separates the meat from the bone fragments. There are no eyes, skin, organs, claws, beaks or anything of that nature.

AND Mcdonalds uses all white breast meat in their chicken nuggets. So does every other fast food restaurant chain.

MSC is mostly used in hot dogs. Unless it says All beef or all pork then its made with chicken MSC. If it says meat then it can be a mixture of beef/pork/MSC.

It's just a way for manufacturers to cut down on waste and provide a cheaper product for us
