How to Turn Pork into Beef (11 pics)

pretty sure that's not healthy

I read about this. Not only is it not healthy, but it's illegal. It does make pork into a tender piece of steak though, barely distinguishable from regular beef when mixed into other recipes. Saw this on ChinaSmack.

Gross

They really invent new wats to fuck things up. Incredible.

Wasn't it illegal for some name brand taco franchise to call their meat mixture "beef" the last few years?

Jimmy, the name brand taco franchise won and the protester had to retreat from the fray. The best she could do was prompt them to label it as 75% beef, 25% proprietary ingredients, i.e., filler. It is legal because they didn't label it as 100% real beef. What franchise doesn't have its own "secret ingredients"? KFC? Coca-Cola? Whatever?

Mental satisfaction is their motto

Another "healthy" product discovery from China....

Wayne Beef? a good pork steak is also good

I'll just stick to regular beef thanks!

Captn... Alright, 75% beef by-products (because the trimming were still cut from a cow) and 25% seasonings and fillers is considered "beef" then. How's pork made to look like beef different from a certain sub franchise selling seafood and "crab" when there was no crab in it?

Or any pizza maker selling "cheese" toppings when it clearly isn't cheese? Cheese substitutes are made from soybean, yeast, plant proteins, and other non-dairy ingredients at much lower cost than real cheese... PROFIT.

I would be very concerned about what is in that liquid.

Anything to make a buck.

gross...

Please stop !

Is this even safe to eat?

no way... it just wrong

Jimmy, I commented on your remark about the taco franchise and its legality. The "crab" products are also labeled with such ingredients as "whitefish". In the US, we do have some measure of protecton and ingredient labeling laws. This pork junk is not sold in the US, as far as I know; if it were, it would to follow strict labeling guidelines. Peace.

Captn - If strict labelling guidelines were followed in the US, then "Cheez Whiz" would be labelled "Cheese Analogy". "Miracle Whip" would be "Mayonnaise Substitute". Honey and maple syrup brands would be labelled "High Fructose Corn Syrup Blend". These items, along with most microwaveable food products, are all sold under false pretense of being something else.

I believe there was a legal challenge to the term "seafood and crab", as the sub franchise I mentioned now calls their seafood mixture "seafood salad" or just seafood, which basically can be anything. You're gonna go with "whitefish"... So "whitefish" could be polluck, sole, bass, carp, catfish, other crap, anything that isn't red tuna or salmon meat. Fish meat can be bleached white, just like ground beef and processed meats are artificially colored, so "whitefish" holds a broad spectrum definition.

Whether you consider beef flavored pork as 'mis-labelled', at least it's meat. It's just "seasoning." A certain US taco franchise pushes that very concept with bonus added "fillers". Peace.

even their beef is fake ...

socrates,

To us Chinese, this is no big deal. We are regularly eating things that are much more disgusting and poisonous than this.
