Recently, there has been much controversy in the news about the "Pink Slime" in school beef. Here are the facts about Upper Dublin Food Service beef: The three processed beef manufacturers that we use at Upper Dublin do NOT use Pink Slime in their processing: Silver Springs-steak sandwich meat American Foods Group- Hamburgers, Salisbury steak Rich's Casa Di Bertacchi-Meatballs However, the raw ground beef we were using to make items from scratch did have Pink Slime. We have researched a different brand and will be purchasing one without Pink Slime from now on. The USDA stated last week that it was going to be offering an option for schools to "opt out" of the ground beef contain Pink Slime for a more expensive, higher fat, ground beef product. Of course, without question, Upper Dublin will not be purchasing any of the beef products that contain the Pink Slime for the remainder of the school year and future years.
