Birefringence
Birefringence is a natural phenomenon in cured meat. It's when a rainbow seems to appear on the surface of the meat - it's a bit iridescent. All it is is light reflecting off of muscle proteins. It has the same color distribution of a prism. Don't worry - your meat is perfectly safe to eat!
