McDonald's announced that 'pink slime' or discarded beef cuts treated with ammonium hydroxide was no longer used in their burgers.

Todd Bacon, senior director of quality systems for McDonald's, said, "We made a decision to discontinue the use of ammonia-treated beef in our hamburgers. This product has been out of our supply chain since August of last year. This decision was a result of our efforts to align our global standards for how we source beef around the world."
