Not sure the ammonia makes a difference. The point is it is safe; the sad name seems to freak people out. I assume you are talking about pink slime?
Maraschino cherries, olives and bagels are often treated with drain opener (Lye) so do not fret about the pink slime.
When I cut meat, I am sloppy and not at all very pro butcher like. I know my burger is all beef and all that goes into it it is cow.
I have a friend who put off fish for some time because he watched someone clean one. Visit an egg processor or a slaughterhouse and you might think vegetarian. People want to eat but they do not want to see where their beef comes from.
The ammonia does make a difference because it tastes like crap afterwards. Hence the artificial food coloring. Also not a chemical that should be ingested.
