Restaurant chains and beef processors defended their products' safety Thursday after a report that an ammonia treatment thought to kill harmful germs in meat isn't as effective as the industry and regulators believed.
via abcnews.go.com
It's hard to imagine how far reaching the introduction of ammonia to beef products can be on our health as a nation. Not to mention how it is now determined that the ammonia added is not as effective in killing harmful germs like e. coli and salmonella.
First of all, virulent strains of e. coli and salmonella would not be overrunning our food supply if we weren't so cavalier on adding antibiotics to everything cows eat. This just breeds overgrowth of hearty strains of bad bugs.
Second, ammonia is never fully cleared out of the beef so you get a dose of ammonia every time you eat your favorite fast food burger. Ammonia is categorized as a high health hazard to humans and has been documented to have effects on the GI, liver, nervous, reproductive systems if ingested. If inhaled it is known as a irritant to the skin and respiratory system.
Finally adding ammonia to our food is really a short-sighted way of looking at food safety. We are just opening up a whole can of worms for development of super-bug strains not to mention the long term health risk of consuming ammonia in your beef.
Solution: buy organic, grass-fed beef. Grass fed beef doesn't get antibiotics therefore they are not at risk for developing super-bugs in their digestive systems. The cows are healthier from the start, aren't pumped full of hormones and live a happier life. Grass fed beef are the true "Happy Cows" of California.

Very cute! I LOVE the color, too.

The answer is "it doesn't", ammonia patties certainly sounds bad. Its certainly disgusting to read about how chickens, beefs and bacon are served sizzling with antibiotics since the animals are doused with so many antibiotics.
