Schools’ Use of ‘Pink Slime’ Beef to Become
Optional: USDA
Starting in the fall, schools in the national school lunch program will
be able to refuse ammonia-treated ground beef filler that some refer to as
“pink slime.”
The announcement Thursday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture comes
amid growing social media outrage over the so-called “lean finely textured
beef,” the Associated Press reported.
The product is made from fatty pieces of meat left over from other
cuts. The pieces are heated and spun to remove most of the fat, and
compressed into blocks for use in ground meat. The product is exposed to
ammonium hydroxide gas to kill bacteria.
The change is USDA policy means that schools will be allowed to choose
between 95 percent lean beef patties made with the low-cost lean beef
product or less lean bulk ground beef without it, the AP
reported.

3 Brands of Pet Treats Possibly Linked to Dog
Illnesses
Some specific brands of jerky pet treats possibly linked to kidney
failure and other serious illnesses reported in at least 600 dogs in the
United States are cited in internal Food and Drug Administration
documents.
Of 22 “Priority 1” cases listed in a log of complaints from pet owners
and veterinarians, 13 cited Waggin’ Train or Canyon Creek Ranch jerky
treats or tenders, both produced by Nestle Purina PetCare Co., according
to the documents obtained by msnbc.com.
Three other cases listed Milo’s Kitchen Home-style Dog Treats, produced
by the Del Monte Corp. The rest of the cases listed single brands or no
brand.
An FDA spokeswoman said Priority 1 cases involve animals aged 11 or
younger for which medical records that document illness are available,
msnbc.com reported.
Officials at Nestle Purina and Del Monte officials said their pet
treats are safe. FDA officials said repeated tests have found no solid
link between the dog illnesses and any jerky treat brand or
manufacturer.

Doctors Repair Airway Disorder in
Fetus
In what they say was a world-first surgery, Spanish doctors fixed a
blocked bronchial tube in a 26-week-old fetus while she was still in her
mother’s womb.
The fetus had bronchial atresia, a condition in which the air tubes
(bronchi) leading from the trachea to the lungs do not connect properly
with the central airways. The condition results in the death of the fetus
in 90 percent of cases, Agence France-Presse reported.
The surgery, which lasted 30 minutes, was performed in late 2010. The
doctors used an endoscope to go through the fetus’ mouth and connect the
right bronchi with the central airways.
Eleven weeks after the procedure, the mother gave birth to a 5.5-pound
girl named Alaitz, which means “joy” in the Basque language. The baby is
now 16 months old and healthy.
“It is the first time in the world that this has been achieved. It is
the first time that it has been tried and it turned out well,” Eduard
Gratacos, the head of the maternal-fetal medicine department at Hospital
Clinic in Barcelona, said at a news conference Tuesday, AFP
reported.
“It is an extremely delicate operation since it is carried out near the
heart on tissues as thin as cigarette paper. But without this fetal
therapy, the baby would not have survived,” Gratacos explained.
