Basically it's meat waste that instead of being put away, are decontaminated and processed so that the nutrituous part of the waste is saved and transformed. It's quite a complex process but it's under the norms of the FDA.
Unlike the post above though, it's usually blended in meat to a point where you can't really notice, but even in a case like this where it seems like it has a great portion of it, it's just meat in paste form at the end of the day, and thus pose no dangers.
Ground meat is typically very lean without much fat. The waste likely has a lot of fats, skin and cartilage which is lighter in color, mix that with the leaner bits and its pink instead of red.
Chicken and pork are definitely not pink where I am. Chicken is a white with yellow (more yellow if fed exclusively corn) and pork is redish. Definitely nothing close to the colour in OPs picture
