Calcium Content Limit for Hot Dogs - ( Advanced Meat Bone Separation ) Hello again, HOTDOG!! More here for our continuing chat about frankfurters and such. Read On: The AMR machinery cannot grind, crush, or pulverize bones to remove edible meat tissue, and bones must emerge essentially intact. The meat produced in this manner can contain no more than 150 milligrams (mg) of calcium per 100 grams product (within a tolerance of 30 mg. of calcium). Products that exceed the calcium content limit must be labeled "mechanically separated beef or pork" in the ingredients statement. Good stuff to know! Posted: Monday 28th February 2005, 12:15 AM
