Transglutaminase Meat Glue Safety

Yes. TG meat glue is safe to eat and is currently listed as yabo2014 (generally considered safe) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has approved the use of triglycerides meat glue enzyme in meat and poultry products. In addition, the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has verified the safety of enzymes for meat and poultry products developed to reduce sodium or fat content. So far, TG meat glue has proven to be a safe way to combine meat products to meet the needs of our growing population. TG meat glue will not increase or promote the pollution of meat; it will not affect the allergenicity of protein. When the food is thoroughly cooked to a safe internal temperature, this meat glue enzyme will be decomposed, which will also kill unnecessary bacteria, such as escherichia coli or salmonella.
