[Note: Humans are unable to digest cellulose since we lack the enzymes to break it down. The FDA Shows itself again as a corrupt federal agency responsible for food safety but ....
The USDA, which regulates meats, has set a limit of 3.5% on the use of cellulose, since fiber in meat products is not recognized as nutrition. This fiber is not nutrition at all.

Manufacturers use cellulose in food as an extender, providing structure and reducing breakage, said Dan Inman, director of research and development at J. Rettenmaier USA, a company that supplies “organic” cellulose fibers for use in a variety of processed foods and meats meant for human and pet consumption, as well as for plastics, cleaning detergents, welding electrodes, pet litter, automotive brake pads, glue and reinforcing compounds, construction materials, roof coating, asphalt and even emulsion paints, among many other products.
Some food producers save as much as 30% in ingredient costs by opting for cellulose as a filler or binder in processed foods.
