Injecting Meat to Make It Look Safe

From Yahoo! News: "Meat Injections May Be Fooling Consumers"--

Fresh meat, poultry and fish can put a big dent in a household budget. Now, it may be even more difficult to choose the freshest food in the supermarket.

How do you know the meat you buy is fresh? Now the meat industry is quietly adding something to beef, pork and tuna to make it look fresher -- indefinitely. Carbon monoxide is being added, using a process banned in Europe.

"It tends to deceive the consumer into thinking they're buying something fresh when they are not," said Donna Rosenbaum, with Safe Tables Our Priority.
