Chef britânico mostrou em programa que rede de fast-food usava hidróxido de amônio para converter sobras de carne gordurosa em bife
McDonald’s: empresa mudará receita nos Estados Unidos, mas não admite que esteja sendo pressionada por denúncia de chef
A rede de fast-food McDonald's anunciou que mudará a receita de seus hambúrgueres nos Estados Unidos. A mudança acontece pouco tempo após o chef de cozinha britânico Jamie Oliver descobrir e mostrar em um programa de TV que a rede usa hidróxido de amônio para converter partes gordurosas de carne em recheio para seus produtos, segundo informações do Mail Online.
"Basicamente, estamos falando de comida que seria vendida por um preço muito baixo para produzir comida para cães, e que, depois desse processo, é vendida como alimento para humanos", afirmou Oliver. "Por que qualquer ser humano sensato colocaria carne com amônio na boca de suas crianças?", questionou o chef.
A receita, que o apresentador chamou de "lodo rosa", é produzida, segundo ele, em um processo pelo qual a carne é "centrifugada" e "lavada" em uma solução de hidróxido de amônio e água.
De acordo com o Mail Online, o processo de conversão nunca foi utilizado no Reino Unido, nem na Irlanda, países que usam carne de produtores locais.
Ao site, o McDonal's negou que tenha optado pela troca de sua receita por causa da denúncia de Jamie Oliver. A matéria diz ainda que duas outras redes - Burger King e Taco Bell - utilizavam hidróxido de amônio em suas receitas, mas já modificaram as receitas.

Victory for Jamie Oliver in the U.S. as McDonald’s is forced to stop using ‘pink slime’ in its burger recipe
TV chef was disgusted to discover ammonium hydroxide was being used by McDonald's to convert fatty beef offcuts into a beef filler for burgers
Why would any sensible human being want to put ammonia-filled meat into their children's mouths? asked Jamie Oliver
McDonald's denies its hand had been forced by TV campaign
After years of trying to break America, Jamie Oliver has finally made his mark by persuading one of the biggest U.S fast food chains in the world to change their burger recipe.
McDonald's have altered the ingredients after the Naked Chef forced them to remove a processed food type that he labelled 'pink slime'.
The food activist was shocked when he learned that ammonium hydroxide was being used by McDonald's to convert fatty beef offcuts into a beef filler for its burgers in the USA.
The filler product made headlines after he denounced it on his show, Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution.
'Basically, we’re taking a product that would be sold at the cheapest form for dogs and after this process we can give it to humans' said the TV chef.
Jamie showed American audiences the raw 'pink slime' produced in the ammonium hydroxide process used by producers named Beef Products Inc (BPI).
'Pink slime' has never been used in McDonald's beef patties in the UK and Ireland which source their meat from farmers within the two countries.
Now after months of campaigning on his hit US television show McDonald's have admitted defeat and the fast food giant has abandoned the beef filler from its burger patties.
US Department of Agriculture microbiologist Geral Zirnstein agreed with Jamie that ammonium hydroxide agent should be banned.

US Department of Agriculture microbiologist Geral Zirnstein agreed with Jamie that ammonium hydroxide agent should be banned.
He said: 'I do not consider the stuff to be ground beef and I consider allowing it in ground beef to be a form of fraudulent labelling.'
The defiant chef is pleased at the decision by McDonald's stop using the ammonium hydroxide processes meat.
He said: 'Why would any sensible human being want to put ammonia-filled meat into their children's mouths?
'The great American public needs to urgently understand what their food industry is doing.'
McDonald's denied its hand had been forced by Jamie's campaign.
Todd Bacon, Senior Director of U.S. Quality Systems and Supply Chain with the fast food chain, said: 'At McDonald's food safety has been and will continue to be a top priority.
'The decision to remove BPI products from the McDonald's system was not related to any particular event but rather to support our effort to align our global beef raw material standards.
Two other chains Burger King and Taco Bell have earlier bowed to pressure and removed ammonium hydroxide processed ingredients from their products.
Nobody from Beef products Inc was available for comment.
JAMIE OLIVER'S U.S FOOD CAMPAIGN
In 1999 Jamie Oliver began his TV chef career in the British TV series 'The Naked Chef.' He was awarded an MBE for his services to hospitality. But his healthy eating crusade, hasn't always gone smoothly in the U.S.
Crying on TV: In 2010 while filming 'Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution' he broke down when he met serious resistance after the residents of America's country's fattest city, Huntington, West Virginia, were uninterested in his advice. After a confrontation with school dinner ladies, the TV chef sobbed: 'They don't understand me. They don't know why I'm here.'
Letterman setback: That year he suffered another setback with a doom-filled lecture from chatshow host David Letterman. The host told Oliver he believed diet pills were the only successful way to lose weight in the U.S. and that he expected humans to 'evolve to the point where 1,000 years from now we all weigh 500-600lbs and it will be OK.'
