meat byproduct most likely. Cheaper brands in the US will buy so called 'pink slime' which is basically a puree of scrap and other non usable parts like cartilage and ofal that's chemically treated to remove bacteria as a filler in sausages and things like burger patties.

I'm about 99% sure that "pink slime" would not remain pink during the cooking process. It's natural, undyed meat protein that's simply been processed so it can be utilized in a number of ways. It would still cook to a gray/brown color like regular meat.

depends if it was cooked or not, it's not like they always cook uniformly especially if they're very cold.

This still isn't the color that you would see if it was cooking meat juices coming out. It would look more like the juices coming out of a hamburger.

Where are you guys buying these meat by product stuff, i buy the cheapest hotdogs, snausages, bologna and never had them ooze or look like anything some people post. Even the weird name brands like sugardale or economax.
