The finely textured beef is making its way back onto supermarket shelves, reports the Wall Street Journal. The newspaper reports the resurgence is due to the high cost of beef driving retailers to seek &amp;quot;cheaper trimmings to include in hamburger meat and processors find new products to put it in.&amp;quot; While in the past, &amp;#039;Pink Slime&amp;#039; could be in as much as 70 percent of that beef burger you were eating, it&amp;#039;s unclear right now how much has crept back in to the supply.
