Any meat with that shiny look is processed. It is created by liquefying the meat, adding all types of flavor enhancers and stabilizers and then reforming it into a shape that can be cost effectively sliced and sold. Normally, this is done with all the bits of meat that are too small or odd shaped to package and sell as regular cuts.
