'Pink slime' in school burgers? Food advocates have heard worse
Amy Hubbard
"Pink slime" has been creating a social-media stink recently. When news broke that the national school lunch program was buying 7 million pounds of ground beef containing the substance, an outcry was heard across the Internet.
Now, the USDA has officially said that schools will be able to choose whether they serve that type of meat.
"In response to requests from school districts across the country, the USDA announced today that it will offer more choices to schools in the National School Lunch Program when it comes to purchases of ground beef product," the agency said in a news release Thursday.
