Russian companies are reported to be increasingly using a food additive that is banned in the country—“meat glue” or transglutaminase—to cut production costs.
rofl how do those sanctions taste ruzzians??
Transglutaminase was also banned by the European Union in 2010
It has been banned for use in food production in Russia since 2020
It is still permitted for use in the United States.
This is just like fancy gellatin right? From the sound of it this doesn’t really seem bad at all.
It is bad because bad country uses it because they’re on the verge of collapse and are struggling to feed people
Whereas our good country uses it just because, people love their innovative meat products
It was honestly the worst thing I have ever put in my mouth
Like, I regret palming it and bringing it into the gas station bathroom
I love stealing snacks
Hell yeah, just don’t steal these
Yeah it’s a chemical compound our bodies produce. Like a lot of these things, the risk has more to do with the industrial food processing associated with the chemical rather than the chemical itself.
