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.

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.

    invented a “pasta” made from over 95% shrimp thanks to transglutaminase.

    I feel like that’s just worse in every way than just cooking the shrimp normally and serving them with real pasta. Even if it wasn’t the big shrimp but like the really tiny bug sized ones I imagine you’d be better off making like little cubes of krill loaf and frying that in butter and lemon with lots of garlic and ginger and serving that with pasta in some kind of strong aioli.
