Ammonia — that strong-smelling chemical that's in most of your household cleaning products — is commonly used as a food additive, as well as an antimicrobial agent in meat products. The FDA has deemed it safe.

After meat is treated with ammonium hydroxide, it's put through a sieve-like apparatus to produce a lean meat product.

The FDA calls it Lean Finely Textured Beef, but thanks to former USDA scientist Gerald Zirnstein, most of the public recognizes the chemically-treated scrap meat as "pink slime."

Food processors add the pink slime to certain ground beefs to reduce its overall fat content.
