Russian companies are reported to be increasingly using a food additive that is banned in the country—"meat glue" or transglutaminase—to cut production costs.

smuglord rofl how do those sanctions taste ruzzians??

Transglutaminase was also banned by the European Union in 2010

It has been banned for use in food production in Russia since 2020

It is still permitted for use in the United States.

    I am not sure, I think it is just fancy gellatin. Just like, a protein that you normally don't see a bunch of at me time that has cool effects.

      Yeah, it's just that the words "meat" and "glue" don't feel to me like they belong together, somehow. It feels icky in my brain lol
