Looks like McDonald's changed their sourcing about 10 years ago. Now they use trimmings as you said; previously they used pink slime.

For the record, I never said (nor implied) that it would be fed to food animals. I was thinking more like dog food

    They used up to 7% LFTB back in the day. It looked nothing like the emulsified chicken pictured in the articles. It is a wholesome product yet not one I would choose to put in my ground beef due to the amount of connective tissue. You're close to the source, have any questions you'd like honest answers for?

    There's a whole bunch of beef that's not edible by USDA standards, and that's what gets made into dog food. I used to date somebody that worked at a glass-bottle dairy, and they'd eat it anyways, but it was clearly marked on the package "not for human consumption".
