From the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_meat_recovery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_meat_recovery article that you posted: > Although some sources claim AMR systems use ammonia (or anhydrous ammonia, ammonia hydroxide, etc.) to treat the meat, this appears to be due to confusion between AMR and the production of lean finely textured beef (LFTB, commonly referred to as pink slime).[citation needed] LFTB is in fact treated with ammonia,[4] and so is substantially more restricted than most AMR products.
