McDonald’s Has Discontinued Using “Pink Slime” In Hamburgers

McDonald’s has announced that it will no longer use ammonium hydroxide in its hamburgers.

Often referred to as “pink slime”, ammonium hydroxide is used in fertilizers, household cleaners and even explosives. McDonald’s gave the reason why they decided to stop using the chemical to prepare hamburgers.

At the beginning of 2011, we made a decision to discontinue the use of ammonia-treated beef in our hamburgers. This product has been out of our supply chain since August of last year. This decision was a result of our efforts to align our global standards for how we source beef around the world.

The food industry has used ammonium hydroxide as an anti-microbial agent to process meat that would otherwise be inedible.

Massive Florida Highway Pileup Kills Ten

A massive pileup on a Florida highway has claimed the lives of at least 10 people and injured another 18.

What started as a 3-car accident in the early morning hours turned into a devastating multi-car pileup including tractor trailers, a tour bus and a multitude of cars.

Authorities are blaming the accident on dense fog which caused poor visibility. The fog is believed to be a factor in the initial crash. The highway was closed for a short time and then for reasons unknown the highway was reopened and minutes later the second accident occurred that caused a chain reaction resulting in the deaths of 10 people.

He was even stripped search and officers found no weapons. But the next morning inmates who were sharing a cell with Ward told officers Ward had a .38 caliber pistol on him.

The gun, which measured about 10-inches long, was believed to have been stored in the suspect’s rectum. His reason for hiding the gun was probably due to the fact that he has a warrant for his arrest in Canton, Ga for murder.

Ward was subsequently taken to the hospital to be checked out again. He is awaiting extradition back to Georgia.

She has been cited almost a dozen times to stop feeding the birds and has even violated a no trespass order. Butcher can been seen some days hauling a shopping cart full of bread and dog food through the city park.
