The inner-workings of a beef processing plant in Dakota Dunes, South Dakota, might not sound like compelling national news, but in 2012, ABC changed that with two little words: pink slime." As you probably recall, the news outlet questioned Beef Products, Inc. (BPI) about its ground beef filler known as "lean finely textured beef" (LFTI), utilizing the pejorative term "pink slime" in the process. The backlash from the report hit BPI's bottom line hard, despite the fact that they maintained that LFTI is safe and made from 100 percent beef, and so the South Dakotan company sued ABC News. The news organization eventually settled out of court ... paying nine figures to BPI to end the whole mess. BPI survived the ordeal and are back in the news again for - guess what - lean finely textured beef. But don't call it "LFTI." And definitely don't call it "pink slime." According to Beef Magazine, the USDA has given its approval for BPI to call "lean finely textured beef" simply "ground beef." "We approached USDA about the possibility of reclassifying our product," Nick Ross, BPI vice president of engineering, [said] "After reviewing BPI's submission of a new product and new production process, [the United States Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS)] determined that the product meets the regulatory definition of ground beef ... and may be labeled accordingly," a FSIS spokesperson [confirmed]. But for consumers, the change won't really mean that much.
