WASHINGTON (AP/The Blaze) — Last week, The Blaze reported that the USDA bought 7 million pounds “lean finely textured beef,“ also known as ”pink slime,” for school lunches.
News of the purchase quickly circulated via social networking sites and there was a national outcry. In response to the backlash, school districts soon will be able to opt out of a common ammonia-treated ground beef filler.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Thursday that starting in the fall schools involved in the national school lunch program will have the option of avoiding the product.
