B-P-I IS FIGHTING BACK AGAINST ALLEGATIONS THAT ITS BEEF PRODUCTS AREN'T SAFE.

THE COMPANY HAS CREATED A WEBSITE CALLED "PINK SLIME IS A MYTH' THAT EXPLAINS HOW THEIR PROCESS THAT USES AMMONIA TO MAKE LEAN GROUND BEEF IS SAFE AND HAS BEEN USED FOR MANY YEARS.

COMPANY C-E-O ELDON ROTH SAYS B-P-I'S BONELESS LEAN BEEF TRIMMINGS ARE SAFE, WHOLESOME AND NUTRITIOUS, AND THAT THE COMPANY HAS AN UNSURPASSED FOOD SAFETY RECORD.

THE WEBSITE ALSO HAS LINKS TO ARTICLES AND OTHER SITES SHOWING THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE STATES THAT THEIR PRODUCT IS 100 PER CENT BEEF.
