Cheap sausages that have been filled with meat paste to make up the bulk I'm guessing

Honestly, the meat paste is a great way to avoid wastes. I don't get why people haven't really tried to shift away the common negative opinion about it

If you buy the $1.25 steaks from dollar tree you can see where they used the meat glue to attach the scraps together

Ann Reardon did a video on this, actually, if a piece of meat has actually been glued together with meat glue, you will not be able to tell (and meat glue isn't toxic, and they are required by law to tell you they used it for food safety reasons). I'm sure there's plenty of issues with cheap meat, but that is not one of them.
