It totally baffles me that an intelligent person such as yourself can read the paragraphs quoted below and continue to assert so positively that there is nothing unsafe about this stuff. The New York Times definitely disagrees and cites records of both E-coli and Salmonella found numerous times in spite of the ammoniating process. and this is over a period of several years, not just one or two isolated incidents.
If you’re going to keep vouching for the safety of this stuff, you should be prepared to back it up with something more definitive than capital letters. Stating that there is NOTHING wrong with it is misleading. There is PLENTY WRONG with it on multiple levels INCLUDING safety.

But government and industry records obtained by The New York Times show that in testing for the school lunch program, E. coli and salmonella pathogens have been found dozens of times in Beef Products meat, challenging claims by the company and the U.S.D.A. about the effectiveness of the treatment. Since 2005, E. coli has been found 3 times and salmonella 48 times, including back-to-back incidents in August in which two 27,000-pound batches were found to be contaminated. The meat was caught before reaching lunch-rooms trays. In July, school lunch officials temporarily banned their hamburger makers from using meat from a Beef Products facility in Kansas because of salmonella — the third suspension in three years, records show. Yet the facility remained approved by the U.S.D.A. for other customers. Presented by The Times with the school lunch test results, top department officials said they were not aware of what their colleagues in the lunch program had been finding for years
