Jamie Oliver wins long battle against McDonalds

It's almost exciting to see how many different websites on the Internet are tackling this topic over and over again and have been doing so for years.

 

It's about: “McDonalds loses lawsuit: Meat in burgers consists of fat paste and ammonia”

First of all: This is not a current story, but a fact from the USA that goes back to 2011 and 2012 . Jamie Oliver actually denounced these events and as a result the use of “ Pink Slime ” was significantly restricted. It's about the so-called “Pink Slime” that was used in the USA. There was use of “pink slime”, i.e. processed meat, in Germany or Austria. The reason why this topic could now end up in the interest of users again is the free trade agreement TTIP and the fears that such practices will end up in Central Europe through gag agreements.

If you follow the current status post on Facebook, you will read the same content here as on all the other websites that have been reporting about it for years:

Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has won a spectacular court case against McDonald's, proving that the fast food chain uses fat and ammonia instead of meat. This is not food. The chef opened up about the shocking truth about what really goes into the "tasty" hamburgers and nuggets. According to Jamie, what McDonald's serves cannot be called food. What is the purpose of the mass attacks of advertising that praise Coca-Cola and Co. so highly? It's hard to imagine the amount of money spent on such advertising. What's more important - the advertising is specifically aimed at the youth. There are certain famous personalities that young people see as an authority and imitate their behavior. These are the same people who sell to fast food chains and help them poison our population.

And again we get inquiries with: “IS THAT TRUE?”

The representation as “fat and ammonia” is not correct.

It is ammonium hydroxide , which is added as an antimicrobial agent to kill coli bacteria, for example, and is known in this country as E527.

It's actually the case that Oliver revealed in his show "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution" what ends up in the US burgers from fast food chains: among other things, he complained that inferior beef, which is usually found in dog food, is being used again with the help of ammonium hydroxide is made edible. The product, which he originally called “Pink Slime”, was officially legal in the USA at that time. The end product could be stretched with up to 15% of this inferior mass.

Basically, we're taking a product that would be sold at the cheapest form for dogs and after this process we can give it to humans

So he blames the fact that this cheap form of meat, which is actually only sold for dogs, is processed here and prepared for people. As it turned out, Burger King and Taco Bell also worked this way in the US - completely legal at the time, mind you.

At this time

For example, the :

Victory for Jamie Oliver in the US as McDonald's is forced to stop using 'pink slime' in its burger recipe

So the entire headline is from the end of January 2012 .

You can also learn from the DailyMail article that the criticized “Pink Slime” was used in the USA. There was no use of “pink slime”, i.e. the processed meat, in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

There is also no evidence of use in Germany or Austria. The reason why this topic could now end up in the interest of users again is the free trade agreement TTIP and the fears that such practices will end up in Central Europe through gag agreements.

So let’s conclude

This is not a current story, but rather a fact from the USA dating back to 2011 and 2012. Jamie Oliver actually denounced these events and as a result the use of “Pink Slime” was significantly restricted.

There are now a lot of foreign language sources on this topic, at this point we would like to mention a detailed German language article as further information: AMMONIUM HYDROXIDE Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver wins long battle against McDonalds
