Russian companies are reported to be increasingly using a food additive that is banned in the country—“meat glue” or transglutaminase—to cut production costs.
rofl how do those sanctions taste ruzzians??
Transglutaminase was also banned by the European Union in 2010
It has been banned for use in food production in Russia since 2020
It is still permitted for use in the United States.
I can’t think of many phrases that are more stomach-churning than the words “meat glue”. It gives me a physical feeling of revulsion just to say it in my mind, fucking gross.
I am not sure, I think it is just fancy gellatin. Just like, a protein that you normally don’t see a bunch of at me time that has cool effects.
Yeah, it’s just that the words “meat” and “glue” don’t feel to me like they belong together, somehow. It feels icky in my brain lol
