Bone parts in meat not all bad
By MARSHA MOULDER
New methods of providing food
for Americans may provoke house
wives into overcoming their queasi
ness at the thought of consuming
parts of animals that have been pre
viously cast aside.
A process tor mechanically debon-
ing meat has presented a con
troversy involving packing houses,
consumers and the U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture (US DA). Dr. G.
C. Smith, professor of Animal Sci
ence at Texas A&M University, said
recently the machine was developed
because hand deboning doesn’t effi
ciently get all of the muscles. The
machine works by chopping the
bone and all, and pushing it out of a
7?8;

sieve large enough to allow only the
muscle parts through. The deboning
machine was developed for use on
chickens by a company in Utah
around 12 years ago.
The use of the machine has been
extended to red meats. Work at
Texas A&M has been done on lamb,
beef and pork.
“Primarily, it will help in making
frankfurters, sausage, and ground
beef,” Smith said.
Consumers petitioned the USDA
to disallow the mechanical deboning
of meat in the making of sausage
products. Smith feels the consumer
fear was brought about by a news
paper story.
“The story said something to the
effect that the government was now
going to allow ground bone in
frankfurters, which was not cor
rect,” Smith said. “Someone was
misquoted somewhere.”
Just exactly how much bone is in
the meat that is run through this
process has been studied at Texas
A&M. According to Smith there is
less than 1 percent of hone and this
is in tiny particles. Although no
work has been done at Texas A&M
on the health aspect of this process.
Smith said medical-school opinions
have been that this product is a good
source of calcium, which the Ameri
can diet is lacks. Smith pointed out a
person needs a 2:1 ratio of calcium
to phosphorus. “We re terribly out
of balance because of soda pop
which contains a lot of phosphates,”
he said. Smith said if the replace
ment of mechanically deboned meat
is kept below 10 percent it gives a
better taste and texture to the meat
without a notable change in the
meat products consumers are used
to. He said pork sausage should he
made with 4 percent replacement
and 96 percent regular meat. The
USDA has issued regulations that
must be followed to use this pro
cess, such as the amino acid count.
Smith said meat packers are not
using the mechanical deboning pro
cess. They are not happy with all the
regulations, particularly with the
name the USDA has required they
put on packages of the products—
Tissue From Ground Bone (TFGB).
Packers are afraid this label will
scare the consumer off. Smith cited
the example of getting protein from
blood. He said in this case the deci
sion would have to be made
whether to put “blood” on the label
or not.
“I feel consumers will be better
off if we tell the truth,” Smith re
marked.
The mechanical deboning process
is economical, according to Smith.
He said once it is determined that
the packers will use this process
they can set up the entire system for
about $100,000, he said.

coming.
But you may have to wait a year
or two before it comes to market.
The Federal Communications
Commission took the first step this
past summer toward clearing the
way when it published a notice seek
ing information about the topic.
If approved by the FCC, AM
stereo channels would broadcast
popular FM stereo programs.
Behind the move is pressure from
AM broadcasters who want to com
pete with successful FM stations.
An FCC official said the broadcast
industry is showing a lot of interest.
The official also said manufactur
ers of car radios are interested. They
think AM stereo will be less suscep
tible than FM to fading out.
Another factor: some com
munities that have AM broadcast
outlets don’t have FM stations be
cause there aren’t enough channels
to go around.
One exjoert at the Electronics In
dustries Association said the
technology has always been availa
ble, or at least within reach, but lit
tle demand has existed.
“The time has come, he said.
“Somebody is interested in it. You
have intergrated circuits now which
allow you to do things without add
ing cost. And AM : stereo also offers
an opportunity for upgrading’ of
