Meat from the offspring of a cloned cow entered the food chain last year and was eaten, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has said. Experts discovered two bulls born in the UK from embryos harvested in the US had both been slaughtered. Meat from one of the bulls had entered the food chain, but meat from the other was stopped from being sold after the animal was killed last week, the FSA said. The agency pointed out there was no evidence that consuming products from healthy clones, or their offspring, posed a food safety risk. But it added that “meat and products from clones and their offspring are considered novel foods and would need to be authorised before being placed on the market”. The FSA said of the bulls: “The first, Dundee Paratrooper, was born in December 2006 and was slaughtered in July 2009. Meat from this animal entered the food chain and will have been eaten. “The second, Dundee Perfect, was born in March 2007 and was slaughtered on July 27 2010. Meat from this animal has been stopped from entering the food chain.” Food Standards Agency Chief Executive On Cloned Meat It is thought the meat, likely to have ended up in a pie or burger, was sold in Scotland. The finding was made in an inquiry into claims a British farmer admitted selling milk from the offspring of a cloned cow without labelling it as such. An animal named Dundee Paradise was traced which was believed to be part of a dairy herd but the FSA could not confirm whether or not its milk was sold. UK …

Beware of Meat Consumption

July 13, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Globalization and commercialism have changed the people of the whole world greatly. Fast communication has made fast changes in the lifestyle and food habits. People who had been strict vegetarians are switching over to non-vegan food items. This change can be explicitly seen in countries like India.

Meat eating causing health problems

Changes in eating habits have brought many health hazards in societies. Recent discoveries have found out that meat eating causes loss of memory and other diseases. It may seem to be very less in the earlier stages, but as years go by, they become worse.

Bacterial and viral infections through meat

Studies show that a person can have various infections through tapeworms like roundworm, pinworm, hookworm, etc. They creep into the body through the meat you eat and harbor in the intestine and grow very long. Their ova enter the blood stream and can reach almost all the parts of the body. When they enter the brain they can cause memory loss.

Eating meat causes memory loss

Researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina and Arizona State University, who collaborated on animal fat effect in Alzheimer’s disease, found that a high-saturated fat from high-cholesterol diet led to impaired working memory. Researchers suggest that a diet high in animal fat may also lead to memory loss in humans.

Studies suggest eating more vegetables than meat

Earlier it was thought that Alzheimer’s disease was rare in India. But the recent studies show that Alzheimer’s disease is increasing in this country. Latest research indicates that this disease is linked to eating meat. Is it because of the change of diet habit by taking more meat foods that we find more cases of this disease in India? It is fitting to think of the fact that studies suggest eating more vegetables like broccoli and spinach than fat foods like red meat in order to lower the risk of later Alzheimer’s disease. Meat stores fat in the body and causes obesity, high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

Memory loss caused by animal fat

Dr. Murray, professor of Toronto University, says that Alzheimer’s disease is caused by a protein called prion, normally found in the nervous systems of animals. Prion proteins are changed in their shape when they come into contact with normal proteins. This chain of reaction makes more and more proteins lose their shape and impair normal functions of the organs.

Mad cow disease transmitted through meat

Hundreds of deaths that occurred after eating infected beef have revealed the severe risks of Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease. Scientific statistics show that there is direct correlation between increase in meat consumption and increase in the number of Alzheimer’s disease patients.

Meat consumption raises the level of risk factors

American Heart Association has discovered that eating meat not only raises levels of cholesterol but also increases an amino acid called homocysteine found in meat which is a risk marker of heart disease. They have also found that vegetables can bring down the risk level of homocysteine.

I do not discourage consumption of meat. But I want just to point out increase in consuming meat is causing more dangers mainly through the fast foods. Hence it is always advisable to make use of them prudently.

How to Properly Utilize and Clean a Meat Food Slicer

July 13, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Article by Darren Pace

While a meat food slicer is an essential appliance for the commercial food industry, it is also a handy appliance for use in the home as well, however, it is essential that all food slicers are utilized and maintained properly in order to avoid the risk of injury or an illness due to contaminated food. Today, meat slicers are being purchased more often for in home use as meats can be bought in bulk which saves a significant amount of money especially when having a large family to feed. Whether you are interested in purchasing a meat food slicer or already own one, you will find the following tips on usage and maintenance helpful in maintaining their optimal performance.

Proper use of your Meat Slicer

A meat food slicer is not only useful for cutting meats in bulk; it can also be used to cut other types of food such as onions, tomatoes, potatoes, and cucumbers. All food slicers operate basically the same with a rotating blade that slices the food as it is pushed through the blade. The carriage that holds the meat or produce in a manual slicer is pushed by hand, while the carriage on an automatic slicer will move back and forth on its own. Before using your slicer, always ensure that it is clean, rust free, and that the guard for the blade is properly in place. The clamp attached to the carriage on a meat slicer will typically have protruding points or “teeth” that hold the food in place. When placing your meat or produce on the carriage, you will want to ensure that this clamp is pressed tightly against the food holding it firmly in place.

When using a manual slicer always ensure to use the handle of the carriage when pushing the meat or produce and never place your bare hand on the product to push it as you could easily slip and be injured by the blade – especially when the meat or produce becomes smaller near the end of slicing. There is typically a turning knob or dial with numbers that is used to set the thickness of the food you are slicing. To ensure that you achieve the desired thinness or thickness, slice one piece at a time adjusting the dial until you are satisfied with the cut. When cutting whole or large pieces of meat such as a ham or turkey breast, you can portion the slices to the desired serving sizes then package and freeze what is not for immediate use.

Cleaning your Meat Food Slicer Properly

Food slicers should always be properly cleaned after every use. In order to safely clean your meat slicer it is essential that you unplug the machine prior to disassembling it. Setting the dial to zero will lower the blade so that it is not exposed and the guard or cover of the blade can then be safely removed and set in warm soapy water to soak. It is always better to use gloves that are cut-resistance when cleaning the blade itself in case your hand slips as the blade is razor sharp. A solution of one part bleach to nine parts of water may also be used for sanitizing the slicer. If you are interested in purchasing a meat food slicer for your home or business, consider purchasing one made of stainless steel as these are the easiest to clean and maintain.
