What you’re seeing are almost certainly connective tissue fibers (collagen) or elastic fibers that tightened and pushed out during slow cooking.
When beef cooks low and slow:
-
Collagen shrinks, tightens, and then melts into gelatin.
-
Some fibers squeeze out of the muscle and look like thin white strings.
-
They can resemble tiny worms — but they’re part of the meat.
Why it looks creepy
-
They’re pale/white
-
They’re string-like
-
They may stick out of the surface
-
They don’t move (important!)
Parasites in beef are extremely rare in inspected meat, especially in most developed countries. Also:
-
Parasites don’t survive thorough cooking.
-
A slow cooker roast reaches temperatures that would kill them.
How to tell it’s normal tissue
It’s safe if:
-
The meat smells normal (beefy, not sour)
-
No unusual slime beyond normal cooked texture
-
Internal temp was at least 145°F (63°C), and slow-cooked roasts typically go much higher
-
The strings are attached firmly and feel like tendon or gristle
When to be concerned (rare)
-
Strong sour or rotten smell
-
Foamy liquid or unusual discoloration
-
You’re seeing actual moving organisms (very unlikely)
If you want, you can describe:
-
Were they embedded or loose?
-
Did they stretch like elastic?
-
What country are you in?
I can help you double-check — but 99% chance this is just normal connective tissue doing weird things in the slow cooker.
