To comply with government regulationsall meat rejected by slaughterhouses "denatured", developed a process to ensure that it inedible for humans, so it can not be resold as human grade meat.There a variety of methods used.Dr. Wendell Belfield, DVM (former USDA vet) wrote in "Let's Live magazine:" In my time as a veterinary meat inspector, we denatured with carbolic acid (phenol, a potentially corrosive) disinfectants and / or creosote used (to preserve wood; also a disinfectant). "
According to federal meatTesting fuel oil, kerosene, carbolic acid and citronella are used, the approved denaturing materials. Other foods through the USDA, which was then rejected on moldy corn animal feed and animal fats rancid. According to an article in "Environmental News" (March '99), a large part of the commercial pet food is made up of meat by-products: a toxic brew with diseased and contaminated meat from slaughterhouses, animal heads, feet, chicken feathers, feet and beaks.Italso includes dead animals from the road increased the nation, rancid restaurant grease, and thousands of animals in veterinary clinics and shelters (flea collars and all). Together with the flesh of any drugs that were introduced into the animals euthanized as hormones, antibiotics and barbiturates used to put pets to come sleep.Unsold supermarket meat come in their original Styrofoam and plastic packaging are thrown into the pot.
