Talk:Mechanically separated meat/Archive 1

Merged Mechanically Separated Poultry here. MSP is now a redirect. Fixed redirect on Mechanically Separated Chicken to point here, rather than to MSP. Shador5529 15:49, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The following comment was appended to the end of the article by someone with an IP address (and then amended by someone else to add a question mark for some reason), so I've moved it here. As I can't comment on the veracity of its claim, I've left the rest of the revision - which removed the name of this Gerbino chap - as it stands.

This process was not invented by Vincent Gerbino? Some people say it was but he is not an inventor, he is a computer technician. Anyone who can verify and clarify who invented this process do so ASAP, as this article was previously, deliberatly spreading misinformation.

Links

I linked "1950s" because I think it is relevant to the subject matter. That is, what was happening in the United Kingdom in the 1950s is related to MRM, what with scarcity of food. Perhaps consider linking it specifically to the section about the UK in the 1950s? The Baroness of Morden (talk) 15:04, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Mechanical chicken"

I thought other Wikipedians might find it amusing that several of my friends of varying intelligence and reading ability have misread labels, thinking that "mechanical chicken" is an ingredient rather than "mechanically separated chicken". --M1ss1ontomars2k4 (talk) 04:36, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Very interesting, but does that pertain to helping the article? No matter, I also have a slight comment to make on my own. Is it me or does that mechanically seperated chicken look like a wad of strawberry taffy? Prottos007 (talk) 03:45, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

There's a great picture of mechanically separated chicken which is presumably not public domain. But if someone who knows more about fair use and how to add pictures wanted, this would be a good addition to the page. dimo414 (talk) 08:28, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Citation regarding Spinal Cord

Offering this up as a citation for BSE involving the spinal cord.

http://www.fsis.usda.gov/FactSheets/FSIS_Further_Strengthens_Protections_Against_BSE/index.asp

"What are Specified Risk Materials? Specified Risk Materials (SRMs) include the brain, skull, eyes trigeminal ganglia, spinal cord, vertebral column (excluding the vertebrae of the tail, the transverse processes of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, and the wings of the sacrum) and dorsal root ganglia of cattle 30 months of age and older. SRMs also include the tonsils and distal ileum of all cattle. However, in order to ensure that the distal ileum is removed, the entire small intestine shall be removed.

Why is USDA banning SRMs? Science indicates that in animals with BSE, these materials harbor the infectious agent before the animal shows any clinical signs of disease. Canada took similar actions when a single case of BSE was discovered there in May 2003."

Some further info

Could somebody please classify what "less expensive, waste materials" are used? Organs? Muscles? What exactly are we talking about? The Cake is a Lie ^{T / C} 15:31, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
