Has anyone tried Treet?

chrisinhouston · 12-20-2009, 04:25 PM

Found a bunch of cans of this nasty looking Spam like product while in a store called Big Lots. The ingredients intrigued me:

Mechanically Separated Chicken, Pork, Water, Salt, Sugar, Corn Syrup, Less than 2 percent: Food Starch-Modified, Brown Sugar, Soybean Oil, Hydrolyzed Corn, Soy and Wheat Proteins, Barley Malt Flour, Natural Flavorings, Sodium Nitrite, Sodium Tripolyphosphate, Sodium Erythorbate, Smoke Flavoring.

What does Mechanically Separated Chicken mean? A Cuisinart?

It also looked like a great daily source of sodium! I forget how much it had but it was something like 38% of your daily requirement.

Well I did find this! Isn't the Internet great for getting all the facts!

This is taken from the USDA Fact Sheet -here is the URL.

http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets...erms/index.asp

MECHANICALLY SEPARATED MEAT
is a paste-like and batter-like meat product produced by forcing bones with attached edible meat under high pressure through a sieve or similar device to separate the bone from the edible meat tissue. In 1982, a final rule published by FSIS on mechanically separated meat said it was safe and established a standard of identity for the food product. Some restrictions were made on how much can be used and the type of products in which it can be used. These restrictions were based on concerns for limited intake of certain components in MSM, like calcium. Due to FSIS regulations enacted in 2004 to protect consumers against Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, mechanically separated beef is considered inedible and is prohibited for use as human food. However, mechanically separated pork is permitted and must be labeled as "mechanically separated pork" in the ingredients statement.

MECHANICALLY SEPARATED POULTRY
is a paste-like and batter-like poultry product produced by forcing bones with attached edible tissue through a sieve or similar device under high pressure to separate bone from the edible tissue. Mechanically separated poultry has been used in poultry products since 1969. In 1995, a final rule on mechanically separated poultry said it would be used without restrictions. However, it must be labeled as "mechanically separated chicken or turkey" in the ingredients statement. The final rule became effective November 4, 1996.

That's not what the charge sheet indicates.

If you are a lucky economically disadvantaged person, you get Treet and worse all the time in your commodities box. I tried some of it and its as vile as you might expect. I have two more cans pushed to the back of the cupboard to use in case of global warming, an attack on the people by Congress, or an encounter with a Nigerian child witch.

jinx · 12-20-2009, 05:58 PM

I wouldn't eat that with your mouth. Bleh.

monster · 12-20-2009, 06:50 PM

good :p (more fluid for tears means less fluid for slobbering)

Undertoad · 12-20-2009, 06:58 PM

mechanically separated chicken

DanaC · 12-20-2009, 07:08 PM

Oh God that looks ....I think that's possibly the most revolting thing I have ever seen in my life.

@ Monnie: Pilau doesn't slobber! It's one of the things I took into account when I was choosing what breed to get. Along with how much they moult. He does occasionally drool just a little, whilst awaiting the ok to dive into his supper ... but hey, he's only canine.

Boxers slobber. Collies don't much at all.

monster · 12-20-2009, 07:30 PM

all dogs slobber. And even if they don't, they might.... I think dog-slobber might be my equivalent of kryptomite....

and that looks like a skinned albino cobra, UT
