Iridescence is a physical phenomenon that results in shiny, rainbow-like colours (e.g. green, red, orange) seen in raw and cooked meat products, e.g. sliced roast beef and ham products. Meat contains iron, fat, and other compounds. The commonly accepted mechanism for iridescence involves optical light diffraction resulting from muscle’s striated structure and fibrous nature. When light hits a slice of meat, it splits into colours like a rainbow. There are various pigments in meat compounds that can give it an iridescent or greenish cast when exposed to heat and processing.

It’s supposed to be safe but I’m not a fan.
Last couple briskets I got were from a local farmer so didn’t have to worry about it.

When you slice across muscle fibers, sometimes the resulting microscopic structure acts like a diffraction grating. So, when light hits those muscle fibers it causes the light to separate into different wavelengths which we see as sort of a rainbow.
