Actually, rosemeat is the bulk of the product that he is describing, typically about 50% of the bins that were shipped to McDonalds were rosemeat.

The stuff that isn't is essentially just fat and meat that is cleaned off the bones using a MDM (mechanical deboning machine)
.
Which is the process he was describing with the washing machine.

Personally, I don't see why he thinks it (the MDM meat portion, I mean) is that bad. All it is essentially, is meat which is mashed into a really fine mush. It's not like anyone who went to Taco Bell or McDonalds actually thought they were getting regular grind.

I think Oliver is as upset about the process as the "meat/parts" used.
Offal is not used in any edible product which McDonalds recieved, at least in the facilities I worked in, which provided a great deal of product for McDonalds specifically. I never once saw anything from the inedible room that was ever shipped to McDonalds, and never heard about it happening.

The things that did get shipped to McDonalds are MDM often in or alongside 50/50 grind, and rosemeat.
