Romney donor at center of 'pink slime' controversy

By ALEXANDER BURNS | 3/29/12 2:24 PM EDT

The company at the center of a national controversy over ammonia-treated beef byproducts – known in the media as “pink slime” – is headed by a major donor to Mitt Romney’s political action committees.

Beef Products Inc., which has suspended operations at several plants due to criticism of its products, was founded by Eldon Roth – a prominent Midwestern businessman who has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to pro-Romney groups.

Roth hosted a fundraiser for Romney in Sioux Falls last fall, according to the Associated Press. And the Washington Post reported last year that Roth and his wife, Regina, cut $190,000 in checks to Romney’s network of state-level PACs in 2010.

He has also donated to a number of other Republicans, including John Thune and Tim Pawlenty. In Romney’s book, “No Apology,” he described Roth as an American success story for having started out in a “blue-collar job in a cold storage plant, before coming up with a cold-storage idea that made him a successful businessman with a “very large jet.”
