School Districts Aren't Buying Pink Slime Claims
School districts do not seem to be buying the Agriculture Department's claim that "pink slime" is perfectly fine. The Department of Agriculture said only three states in its National School Lunch Program have chosen to buy the product, also known as "lean, finely textured beef." Those are Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota, where pink slime is made. Schools had served up pink slime for decades until a recent public outcry. In response, for the first time, USDA gave schools a choice to purchase beef without the slime, which is used for a filler. It was still accepting orders for the upcoming school year. The agency maintained that pink slime was safe, affordable and low in fat.
