Meat glue
Although vegetarianism and veganism might be growing in popularity, the majority of people in the world are still classed as meat-eaters. However, that might change with the revelation that there’s a form of glue in many meat products sold in the US. Known as transglutaminase or “meat glue,” it’s an enzyme which is used to bind smaller pieces of meat together.
The substance is natural and apparently formed from fermented bacteria, with the FDA stating that it’s safe to eat. It’s apparently been used in meat for over a decade and is praised for adding a texture to the product.
