Original Title: TIL in December 2018, lean finely textured beef(pink slime) was reclassified as “ground beef” by the Food Safety And Inspection Service of the United States Department Of Agriculture. It is banned in Canada and the EU.
Imitation vinilla hasn’t been made that way for decades. You almost certainly never eaten anything with it in it.
Less than 250 lbs of the stuff was consumed in the US in 1987 and it’s only gone down from there.
It’s actually significantly more expensive than sythensized alternatives like vanillin since there is basically no commercial beaver trapping anymore.
Decades before this was something I could scare the girls in food class with, it was already not true.
