I think it was on Food Inc where they explained the addition of the Ammonium Hydroxide, they need it to kill any bacterium that may enter the plant, and get into the ground meat, when the cows are brought in from the stockyard, where they stand in manure sometimes up to their knees.
Its a cheap solution, to a problem that could be fixed, by not overcrowding the stock yards, and having the cows out on pasture, where the manure would dry up.. and fall off within a few days.
That's why I buy beef from the farmer a few lines over from me
