I am going to say now I am about 80% positive that it is done just like turkey deli breasts but if I am wrong I will feel silly as shit

if i wanted to do a mainstream blog i'd pay money for fast food workers to take behind the scenes photos of the raw materials as they arrive at these restaurants and then how they're prepared.

Even fresh tuna gets the oil slick look.

Rainbow Colors on Meat

I notice sometimes that meat in the display counter at my local butcher shop has a green and magenta sheen to it. What causes this? Is the meat still okay to eat?

What you are noticing is likely a phenomenon referred to as iridescence, or more technically birefringence. Essentially, this is the same effect as light passing through a crystal and splitting into a rainbow of colors, only the rainbow is from light reflecting off of a surface rather than passing through something. This can happen with either fresh cut or cured meats, and depends mostly on the angle at which the muscle fiber happens to have been cut.

Birefringence is more noticeable on darker colored meats like beef that lighter ones like chicken because the dark background gives greater contrast.

Provided that it is caused by the reflection of light from the surface and not a permanent green color to the meat, it is still safe to eat. You can tell by moving the light source, the meat or yourself to a different position and seeing if the rainbow colors shift or disappea

From what I just read the workers now have to sign a confidentiality agreement saying they won't talk about the meat or they'll be sued. I don't remember signing anything like this but that was a long time ago.

What the meat actually looked like before being placed in the convection oven was like blender liquefied beef with lots of tiny beef roast strings of meat pressed together in a gelatinous goo. It definitely was not a solid cut of meat floating in liquid like they make it sound.

After it was cooked it looked like a big piece of solid meat and we used to drop them on the table cause they bounced like rubber. Thinly sliced it tastes great, just looked like a cow patty before being cooked that's all.
