Reply to comment by stalecheez_it in I worked for a slaughterhouse in the Midwest. You think you're buying beef at the grocery store, but you're wrong. by GTripp14
My best friend had an uncle work in a slaughterhouse and she said he said if someone lost a finger or hand, they did not throw away the meat. If it went through the grinder, it got packed with everything else. Now we were 12 or 13 at the time but I did and do trust her fully. I'd trust her with my ss#, bank account password, everything personal. I don't think she was joking that time.

I dunno where you live, but when I worked in an abbitior, we'd routinely have shut downs for lost gloves or heat stamps accidently packed. Cost thousands but no way would they allow something non meant to be there, stay there. If a person got injured enough they lost a body part, production would stop immediately. Thankfully that never happened when I was there. Lots of other bad accidents, but no digits in the mincer.

Same thing happens in juice processing plants. Always thought it was like an urban legend but no, it was true. They just get ground up and included in the juice.
