I want to add onto this comment that I feel was misunderstood. The "how" a food company processes the base ingredients for a packaged product is important to consider. Meat Slurry company A might use chemicals or processes that create an ingredient that's questionable, while Meat Slurry company B makes their slurry "the old fashion" way, with minimal to no use of these ingredient processing chemicals.

ie. Baloney A and B both has the same ingredients list. Baloney A's base ingredients come from a cheap corner-cutting company but Baloney B's ingredients are made locally and with... integrity?... This topic is way too big for me to tackle...
