"Pink Slime" a cheap meat filler, is in 70 percent of the ground beef sold at supermarkets and up to 25 percent of each American hamburger patty, by some estimates.
“It kind of looks like play dough,” said Kit Foshee, who was a corporate quality assurance manager at Beef Products Inc., the company that makes pink slime. “It’s pink and frozen, it’s not what the typical person would consider meat.” -ABC News

In my opinion, the worst part, is that it isn't labeled. They're saying it IS labeled because its beef, but I personally, beg to differ. Its in about 70% of our beef, spritzed with ammonia and there is no way to know! Good news: They did say there isn't any evidence of it being in beef marked organic. More good news is Costco, Whole foods and a couple others say they don't use it. I recommend reading this article from ABC and watching the video that's in the attached link.
