Do you really want to know what’s in your food?

Imagine this: Your favorite dessert might just be loaded with unused muscle tissue, tendons, bones and other animal byproducts that typically end up in landfills. At present, up to 50 percent of the animal weight processed by the meat industry is composted, discarded or incinerated. This number might decrease, however, as modern science continues to invent strange ways to turn waste into food — or, in more technical terms, “animal protein hydrolysates.”

Food industry: Reusing animal waste adds value to food

According to the food industry, though, turning animal waste into food will add value to foods that might be lacking in nutrition. Belgium-based Proliver, for instance, already manufactures a line of chicken-based “protein powders” that can be injected into other meat products.

A Russian company, on the other hand, has publicly admitted that it plans to use animal protein hydrolysates to “enrich” ice cream. According to reports, Mobitek-M, the company, has already constructed a manufacturing plant capable of processing 100 tons of “functional animal protein” per day.
