著名漢堡廚師傑米奧利華Jamie Oliver公開指出,麥當勞漢堡包號稱全行最便宜,那是因為他們採用的牛肉是牛身上最不值錢的部位,一般都被用來製成狗糧!麥當勞將這些最便宜的牛肉加入氫氧化銨,使其富含嚼勁和香味。但是這種氫氧化銨已經被美國藥物管制局USDA列為禁藥,不適合人體食用!
傑米奧利華說,氫氧化銨這種含有劇毒,能夠破壞人體內臟組織功能的化學毒藥,過去被漢堡包經營者廣泛使用,近年來據悉漢堡王(Burger King)已經放棄使用;只有麥當勞繼續沿用至今。據說添加這種化學毒素的牛肉漢堡包的口感更香更好吃;消費人都比較喜歡光顧麥當勞,卻不知道他們原來長期讓孩子們把劇毒吃進肚子。
傑米奧利華早幾年前揭發麥當勞只顧賺錢不顧消費人健康利益的卑劣行為,激怒麥當勞與他對簿公堂;但是由於傑米奧利華是專業人士,手上擁有大量證據報告,令麥當勞無力反駁,最終敗訴!
回想星馬兩地的麥當勞最近LCLY高調行使穆斯林霸權主義,禁止非穆斯林帶著沒有清真認證的蛋糕進入慶生,搞得天怒人怨;現在加上這則對麥當勞大大不利的新聞出爐,大家更有理由抵制麥當勞了! Proves McDonald’s Burgers 「Unfit for Human Consumption」
Hamburger chef Jamie Oliver has won his long-fought battle against one of the largest fast food chains in the world – McDonalds. After Oliver showed how McDonald’s hamburgers are made, the franchise finally announced that it will change its recipe, and yet there was barely a peep about this in the mainstream, corporate media.
Oliver repeatedly explained to the public, over several years – in documentaries, television shows and interviews – that the fatty parts of beef are 「washed」 in ammonium hydroxide and used in the filling of the burger. Before this process, according to the presenter, the food is deemed unfit for human consumption. According to the chef and hamburger enthusiast, Jamie Oliver, who has undertaken a war against the fast food industry, 「Basically, we』re taking a product that would be sold in the cheapest way for dogs, and after this process, is being given to human beings.」
Besides the low quality of the meat, the ammonium hydroxide is harmful to health. Oliver famously coined this the 「the pink slime process.」
「Why would any sensible human being put meat filled with ammonia in the mouths of their children?」 Oliver asked.
In one of his colorful demonstrations, Oliver demonstrates to children how nuggets are made. After selecting the best parts of the chicken, the remains (fat, skin and internal organs) are processed for these fried foods.
In reply to all of the bad press this process has received from Oliver, the company Arcos Dorados, the franchise manager for McDonalds in Latin America, said such a procedure is not practiced in their region. The same, it should be noted, applies to the product in Ireland and the UK, where they use meat from local suppliers.
In the United States, however, Burger King and Taco Bell had already abandoned the use of ammonia in their products. The food industry uses ammonium hydroxide as an anti-microbial agent in meats, which has allowed McDonald’s to use otherwise 「inedible meat.」
Most disturbing of all is the horrifying fact that because ammonium hydroxide is considered part of the 「component in a production procedure」 by the USDA, consumers may not know when the chemical is in their food.
On the official website of McDonald’s, the company claims that their meat is cheap because, while serving many people every day, they are able to buy from their suppliers at a lower price, and offer the best quality products. But if 「pink slime」 was really the 「best quality」 that McDonalds can muster in the US, then why were they able do better in Latin America and Europe? More to the point, why can they apparently do better now in the United States?
These questions remains unanswered by the franchise which has denied that the decision to change the recipe is related to Jamie Oliver’s campaign. On the site, McDonald’s has admitted that they have abandoned the beef filler from its burger patties.
