No longer just the realm of chicken nuggets, glued together chunks of meat are being sold as prime steaks and roasts. The meat-glue used is made of elements of pork or beef blood, Thrombian, or Transglutaminase. Not only is this shoddy and misleading, but bacteria love to grow inside a moist, meaty package. Much like hamburger, which we all know can be contaminated when thousands of cattle's meat get mixed in giant vats, glued-together "steaks" are combinations of many animals, and harbor generous colonies of bacteria inside. In a rare-cooked steak, normally you don't need to worry that bacteria have infiltrated the middle of the meat, but in glued meat, you do.
Be wise, avoid spending your cash on glued-together meats that are just over-large hamburger chunks.
