***Edit: discovered it is green muscle disease. ***

Processing our meat birds today. Going along nicely and then I cut into this one. What the heck is wrong with this bird? The b breast meat is the only place I saw it. The leg & thigh meat seemed normal. Nothing smells bad.

Out of caution, I discarded all of it and disinfected my equipment prior to moving to the next bird. Has anyone seen this before?

It's dead tissue. Necrotic and stating to rot due to lack of blood flow and oxygen. Best to not consume. It would never pass usda inspected for reference.
