Major “Pink Slime” Maker Puts Production on Hold Temporarily
Beef Products Inc., the maker of so-called "pink slime" beef, said it has suspended operations for 60 days at three plants where it makes the beef ingredient, due to consumer backlash, Reuters said. The company plans to rebuild the business and address the “misconceptions” about the lean finely textured beef, a BPI executive said.
