For all of you "smart" folks who think you're funny - it's quite obvious that BEEF extract comes from beef. It's a thick black sludge and I'd like to know what parts of the animal are used.

ok, so it's cooked down beef broth, sure - how'd they turn it into that sludge form -- wouldn't broth just evaporate? and what parts of the COW are cooked down? I'd like to know so I'm totally sure I'm not eating crap.

Cloudofdust - seriously. I have googled it and have come up with nothing useful. There's no need to argue, unless you're so bored that you really want to - in which case, find someone to humor you.

I actually found an MSDS for beef extract and it pretty much had no info EXCEPT:

Potential Acute Health Effects:

Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant),
of ingestion, of inhalation.

Hazardous in case of ingestion - interesting.

Have you ever cooked a roast-beef joint? - You get a lovely, brown, sludge in the bottom of the pan that usually goes into the gravy....

That's mostly rendered fat, boiled blood and disintegrated connective tissue..

Sounds yummy? - Effecitively, that's what Beef Extract is - The drippings from ibndustrially roasted meat.. Source(s):
The Bovril Factory is 10miles from my house beef...just a guess!! hmmmmmmmmmm........Chicken! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/bovril...

Heres all ya need to know!

Lowlevel.....you couldnt just give your answer....had to be an a** and put someone down..... Is like a beef broth but much more stronger.
