According to the old Bulgarian State Standard and the Unified Collection of Recipes for Catering Establishments, it was accepted that the content of minced meat on the market must have at least 70% meat. However, food companies today are not obliged to work according to the recipes given there.
Each company develops its own technological documentation, which must be approved by RIPCHP. The main requirement is that the product is harmless. In addition, the manufacturer is obliged to declare all the ingredients he has put in it.
One of the many public secrets is that the institutions understand by the word meat all kinds of intestines, bones, skin, by-products such as lungs, brains, etc. This means that you can get each of these products in your dinner portion.
We often hear about the presence of a number of strange and atypical ingredients that are used in the finished minced meat for meatballs and kebabs. While when we buy minced meat in the store, we can ask them to grind it in front of us to make sure what we take, this is not the case with finished products. Especially ready-made meatballs and kebabs are believed to contain a lot of soy.
On products that contain soy, its content is noted. It is up to 3% of the total staff. In the case of finished products, however, this is often not indicated and even disguised. Consumers pay for a pure animal product and get something completely different.
One of the explanations of the industry is that before there were companies that used soy in the production of ready-made meatballs and kebabs. However, commercialization in recent years has led to high soybean prices and increased control. This, in turn, leads to its exclusion from the production of minced meat. But soy is the best you can find in your meatball.
Among the other things that are said to be added to ready-made mixes are the first water from boiled beans, toilet paper, as well as especially pork offal - ears, cheeks, etc. It is believed that the presence of such spices makes the products look great when they have just been removed from the grill, and terrible when cooled.
One of the signs that the product is quality is the pale color of the minced meat. This means that no coloring has been added and the meat is clean.
