Just Throw It In the Fryer, That'll Kill Anything

Decades ago, I started my work phase of life by joining the Arby's family. I have many funny stories from those days. One of them was about the "roast beef". I remember seeing this stuff before it went into the oven and it was white, not beefy red as you might guess. I remembered it said something about the ingredients including ground beef. I remember thinking that it was quite strange.
Well, I just happened to be thinking about Arby's, went to their website and found, in their nutrition guide, a list of ingredients in their Roast Beef:

Trimmed boneless beef chunks (minimum 70%) combined with chopped beef for a maximum of 12% fat. Contains up to 9.0% of a self-basting solution of water, salt, sodium phosphate.

After my summer at Arby's, I didn't eat there again until this past year.
