A process for injecting suspended trim into a mass of meat muscle, the steps of the process including: (a) removing trim from meat of the same type as the meat to be injected, said trim consisting of fat and lean meat; (b) freezing said trim; (c) grinding said frozen trim in a grinding apparatus; (d

A process for injecting suspended trim into a mass of meat muscle, the steps of the process including: (a) removing trim from meat of the same type as the meat to be injected, said trim consisting of fat and lean meat; (b) freezing said trim; (c) grinding said frozen trim in a grinding apparatus; (d) cooling a brine solution to between approximately 16°F. and 20°F.; (e) blending said ground frozen trim and said brine solution together at a ratio wherein the amount of brine is at least double the amount of trim by weight and maintaining the temperature of said blend at between approximately 16°F. and 24°F.; (f) mixing said trim and brine solution until a saturated solution is achieved; (g) milling said saturated solution until a complete suspension is achieved, having a temperature of 32°F. or less; and (h) injecting said relatively lower temperature suspension into said relatively higher temperature meat muscle, said meat muscle having a temperature of between approximately 38°F. and 48°F., whereby said injection process increases the weight of said meat with no flavor loss.
