Beef producer plans defamation lawsuit over pink slime furor
Thu Sep 13, 2012 9:44am EDT
(Reuters) - Beef Products Inc is planning to file a defamation lawsuit over a product that critics have dubbed "pink slime," in the wake of a media furor earlier this year.
The Dakota Dunes, South Dakota-based company said it planned to publicly discuss the lawsuit later Thursday. It did not identify any defendants or specific allegations.
Beef Products is the largest U.S. producer of a lean ground beef filler made from fatty trimmings. The trimmings are sprayed with ammonia to kill bacteria.
