Study finds human DNA in some hot dog brands

Do you really want to know what's in a hot dog? If the answer is no, you should stop reading now.
Clear Food, a company that genetically tests food products, decided to investigate. It used genomic analysis technology on 345 hot dog and sausage samples from 75 brands to see if you were really getting what's advertised on the package.
Turns out, 14.4 percent of the time, you aren't.
"Problems included substitutions and hygienic issues," the report states. "Substitution occurs when ingredients are added that do not show up on the label. Hygienic issues occur when some sort of non-harmful contaminant is introduced to the hot dog, in most cases, human DNA."
That's right. Human DNA.
Clear Food says its testing found human DNA in two percent of all hot dog samples. Even more disturbing, 66 percent of those cases were found in vegetarian-labeled products. It did not however specify which brands contained the human DNA or what exactly caused the contamination.
That's not the only cross contamination. Clear Food says 10 percent of all vegetarian hot dogs had some sort of meat in them. Some dogs were labeled pork-free but still had pork in them. Other's included chicken, beef or lamb even though those ingredients aren't on the label.
Despite the results, the company said most hot dog makers scored well on the tests. It named Oscar Mayer's Premium Jumbo Beef Franks as the best overall hot dog and named Butterball as the best overall maker of all hot dog and sausage products.Study finds human DNA in some hot dog brands | abc13.com (http://abc13.com/food/testing-shows-human-dna-in-some-hot-dogs/1051433/)

Hot dogs, bacon and other processed meats cause cancer, World Health Organization declares - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonkblog/wp/2015/10/26/hot-dogs-bacon-and-other-processed-meats-cause-cancer-world-health-organization-declares/)
A research division of the World Health Organization announced on Monday that bacon, sausage and other processed meats cause cancer, and that red meat probably does, too.
"It named Oscar Mayer's Premium Jumbo Beef Franks as the best overall hot dog"
Whew. These are the ones we buy, they're really good.
And to think most people though the movie Soylent Green was fiction!:D
let's assume they are not adding actual body parts to your hot dog. how would human DNA get detected? spit.

I fell its more like the muzzzies. They are far from shy about telling people just what they can do and unlike that other major religion that does not eat pork, muzzies believe their religion (cult in the real world) gives then the right to push their agenda on everone

Then there's this...
“Red and processed meat are among 940 agents reviewed by the IARC and found to pose some level of theoretical ‘hazard’. Only one substance, a chemical in yoga pants, has been declared by the IARC not to cause cancer.
“The IARC says you can enjoy your yoga class, but don’t breathe air (class 1 carcinogen), sit near a sun-filled window (class 1), apply aloe vera (class 2B) if you get a sunburn, drink wine or coffee (class 1 and class 2B), or eat grilled food (class 2A). And if you are a hairdresser or do shift work (both class 2A), you should seek a new career.”

The article refers to "processed" and "cured". Problem solved:

Though it's cured, ..., just not with chemicals.

Seems like anything that taste good causes cancer. I will still eat meat such as beef, pork, veal, chicken.:cert:

Not exactly. The gubment requires you to label products as "uncured" when you use a natural source of nitrate or nitrite that are normally cured with purified nitrates and nitrites

I said that, just not as fancy. :D
If I hadn't taken an Ambien, I'd have said it better. I'm currently in the cured/processed meats business

Newsflash...simply being alive causes cancer, so enjoy whatever lifestyle makes you happy. Nobody gets out alive so enjoy your time while you are here.

Oh come on. A little human dna? It's not like we haven't all thought about going total bone-in-the-nose cannibal if the shyt really hit the fan.
Or it's an indictment of a sloppy/unreliable DNA test.

I have been buying that and some of those all natural hot dogs, those are dang good.
Believe it or not, I don't eat as bad as many of you think I do. (rice is healthy, right? :rofl:)
It is a struggle to get my family to like some of the vegetables we have here but they are open to trying things and cooking has become an adventure when it comes to new dishes that have both our input as to ingredients.

They are starting to make more and more options with lunch meats, dogs, and sausage. I've noticed, many taste better than there traditional counterparts. :cert:
