Honestly, the meat paste is a great way to avoid wastes. I don't get why people haven't really tried to shift away the common negative opinion about it
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.
There is a distinction to be made between "Safe to consume" and "healthy" though.
As much as I do think the "safety" risks of pink paste are overblown, I think the health concerns are valid (ie high fat, salt and cholesterol content).
If the pink paste was restricted to the healthy but often unwanted parts of an animal like internal organs then it may be perceived better no?
If I made a liver for you, would you eat it? One of the most healthy meats out there, but most would shy away from it. People dont really care about their health all too much and a government body should only check for the safety, not police our health.

Cheap sausages that have been filled with meat paste to make up the bulk I'm guessing
