OMG! Why have my frozen sausages got beef conective tissue in them?

[tortoise]

It sounds discusting! I dont know why I looked at the ingredients,but now i dont fancy eating them.
Anyone know why they need to put stuff like that in?
And would you still eat them?

Urgh, it's bloody well put me off.

[nicnack2]

could it be that there may be connective tissue and they have to state that due to the BSR crisis a few years back?

They have to tell you exactly what you're eating, and it means they can't claim something is 100% meat when it contains other bits like gelatine, fat and connective tissue. More \link{http://www.food.gov.uk/news/pressreleases/2002/sep/fsameatlabelling\here} from the Food Standards Agency.

Sausages have loads of icky stuff in them.Pigs testicles,bits of intestine,brain etc.
