Carbon monoxide meat off the menu Alert Feb 22, 2006 Meat and Wool New Zealand says the United States' reported growing use of carbon monoxide to keep meat looking fresh is not a practice that will ever be adopted here. The Washington Post has reported that the increasing use of the gas as a pigment fixative without a formal safety evaluation is alarming consumer advocates. However, the practice is something Meat and Wool's general manager of research and development Richard Templer says has been avoided in New Zealand. Templer says keeping meat fresh using carbon monoxide has been looked at here from a research point of view. But he says carbon dioxide and nitrogen were chosen instead because they are naturally part of the atmosphere we breathe. The Washington Post reports that carbon monoxide treated meat is banned by the European Union, as Templer also points out.
