摘要

2012年，美国广播公司(ABC)在晚间新闻节目中播出了一段关于牛肉产品公司(beef Products, Inc.， BPI)生产“精瘦牛肉”的内容。该广播，以及后续报道和社交媒体传播，一再将这种产品称为“粉红粘液”，这个词是由美国农业部(USDA)的一名员工发明的，负责加工肉类。市场对这款产品的反应迅速而强烈。最终，BPI关闭了三家加工厂，削减了数百个工作岗位，并申请破产。BPI以食品诽谤、诽谤和侵权干涉为由起诉ABC和其他公司。本研究分析了这些主张和辩护，并讨论了此类案件的未来。

You say "lean finely textured beef," I say "pink slime".

In 2012, American Broadcasting Companies, Inc. (ABC) broadcast a segment on its evening news show regarding the manufacture of "lean finely textured beef" by Beef Products, Inc. (BPI). The broadcast, as well as follow-up reports and social media communications, repeatedly referred to the product as "pink slime," a term originated by a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) employee for the processed meat. The market backlash against the product was immediate and intense. Ultimately, BPI closed three processing plants, cut hundreds of jobs, and filed for bankruptcy. BPI sued ABC and others for food libel, defamation, and tortious interference. This research analyzes those claims and defenses and discusses the future of such cases.
