It’s Pre-Chicken Nugget Meat Paste

I can't imagine what makes it so pink? I thought it was a new desert product. Thanks to Scott Tavener for this information and picture!

AKA Mechanically Separated Poultry or Mechanically Separated Chicken

The photo above has been extensively passed around recently, and for good reason: it's a peek into the rarely-seen world of mechanically separated meat, or Advanced Meat Recovery (AMR).

Some American figured out in the 1960s that meat processors can eek out a few more percent of profit from chickens, turkeys, pigs, and cows by scraping the bones 100% clean of meat. This is done by machines, not humans, by passing bones leftover after the initial cutting through a high pressure sieve. The paste you see in the picture above is the result. There's more: because it's crawling with bacteria, it will be washed with ammonia, soaked in it, actually. Then, because it tastes gross, it will be reflavoured artificially. Then, because it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial colour.

But, hey, at least it tastes good, right? High five, Australia!

The resulting paste goes on to become the main ingredient in many of Australia's favourite mass-produced and processed meat-like foods and snacks: bologna, hot dogs, salami, pepperoni and of course the ever-polarizing chicken nugget, where the paste from the photo above was likely destined.
