Default Bomb burgers!?

I hadn't heard of this issue, but apparently the food industry is
screwing with our food again, putting god knows what in it, this time:

Doesn't this part give you the warm fuzzies?

"Besides being used as a household cleaner and in fertilizers, the
compound releases flammable vapors, and with the addition of certain
acids, it can be turned into ammonium nitrate, a common component in
homemade bombs. It's also widely used in the food industry as an
anti-microbial agent in meats and as a leavener in bread and cake
products. It's regulated by the U.S. Agriculture Department, which
classifies it as "generally recognized as safe.""

Sure, pal! Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, "blow chunks",
which I think I'm gonna. 8|
