Reconstituted meat

Reconstituted meat, also known as meat slurry or emulsified meat, is a liquefied meat product that has less fat, fewer pigments and less myoglobin than unprocessed dark meat. Because it is more malleable, it can be moved through pipelines, which simplifies distribution inside a processing plant. It is not designed to be sold for general consumption. Instead it is used as a meat supplement in other foods for people, such as chicken nuggets, and in food for domestic animals. Poultry is the common raw material, though beef and pork are also used. The article classes reconstituted meat among ultra-processed foods.
