There's food grade dyes in many foods, including soda and sports drink. So, there's nothing new here and no reason to be alarmed. So long as the meat is handled correctly and the store doesn't relabel old meat (can you say, "Food Lion"?) it's not an issue.
Its definately an issue, manipulating food should not be legal. The US needs to adopt some some regulations Europe has put in place, they take their food much more serious than us (not overweight either, any correlation?)
It is too bad we can not make steak tartar (raw ground beef with raw egg) like they do in france, it would be asking for trouble over here. Unless that is you were to get some good fresh farm raised organic free range...etc etc beef. I go out of my way to get this fresh beef, but we shouldnt have to, it should be available to the general public at a reasonable price-
