What they're not being told about the processed meat they think is perfectly nutritious is that it may be made in part from the carcass of a diseased animal. When an animal has cancer, very often the meat cutters will cut out and throw away the cancerous organs—and then send the rest of the carcass on for processing. In one year alone, 2.4 million cattle whose livers were cancerous or tubercular were sent on for packaging as meat. Not a very appetizing thought!

In this way food processors may add proteins to their processed meat products; these "proteins" may come from old milk, decaying vegetables, or even pork blood. Since the USD A (U.S. Department of Agriculture) requires a certain minimal protein content in meat products, the use of hydrolyzed proteins or autolyzed yeast as "flavorings" is a cheap way of achieving the necessary proportion of protein content.

Expired Dates As long as a product is wholesome, a retailer may legally sell fresh or processed meat and poultry products beyond the expiration date on the package. Shelf-Stable Foods Before opening, shelf-stable foods should be safe unless the can or packaging has been damaged. After opening, store products in tightly closed containers. The storage of many shelf-stable items at room temperature is a quality issue—unless the product is contaminated (bugs in flour, for example). Some foods must be refrigerated after opening, such as tuna or chili.
