Man Outraged As He Claims To Have Found ‘Meat Glue’ In His Steak From Supermarket

A supermarket has recently addressed rumors that it’s been using ‘meat glue’ in its steaks after some TikTokers raised suspicions.

The controversy started spiraling when users on TikTok began examining Woolworths’ steaks very closely.

The debates opened up discussions that might not sit well with vegetarians and vegans, so perhaps they might want to skip this part

The core of the issue? Allegations that the supermarket was bonding pieces of red meat together using ‘meat glue’.

One TikToker went all out to demonstrate his point by manually pulling apart two steaks from the supermarket giant, suggesting he was revealing the use of ‘meat glue’.

During his experiment, he’s heard saying: “See that s**t there. That’s glue. […]”

“And this basically when you cut it, see with this one you just pull it a little bit and certain parts come out in sections.”

He further pointed out, “This might be a solid piece, but they’ve glued it here.”

It didn’t take long for this issue to explode on social media.

On Reddit, a user u/Next-End-4696 brought up the topic on r/perth, asking if Woolworths also uses meat glue in their ‘fillet steaks’.

 

 

However, some were quick to debunk these claims, with one TikToker explaining: “That’s not glue. It’s connective tissue and fat. With glue the striations in the meat would go in diff directions.”

Another chimed in, “Meat glue doesn’t stretch out like that.”

But what exactly is ‘meat glue’, and should we be concerned?

Indeed, ‘meat glue’ is an actual product and not a makeshift tool from someone’s art kit being misused on meat.

Officially known as transglutaminase, it is a food additive that enhances the texture and appearance of foods like processed meats, Healthline reports.

They note: “Though major food safety organizations consider it safe, some health concerns surround it, including an increased risk of bacterial contamination.”

Responding to the claims, a Woolworths spokesperson reassured customers via News.com.au:

“We pride ourselves on providing high quality meat to our customers and we can confirm our steaks are whole muscle.”

“Eye fillet steak is a very lean cut of meat with minimal connective tissue which is what makes it so tender. This is why it is easy to pull apart when pressure is applied.”
