INSPECTION AND GRADING Meat must be graded to be sold; graded by
USDA for wholesomeness Round inspection mark stamped on meat Must also be graded; voluntary program;
graded according to standards including amount of marbling, age of animal, and texture and appearance of the meat

3 most common grades for beef Prime – highest and most expensive; well
marbled meat, very tender and flavorful Choice – most common grade sold in
supermarkets; less marbling than prime, but still tender and flavorful
Select – last amount of marbling; least expensive; sold as store brand

Lamb and veal also graded; same grades as for beef except “Good” replaces “Select”
Pork not graded because meat is more uniform in quality

PROCESSED MEATS 35% of meat produced in the U.S. is
processed Meat processed to impart distinct flavors Ham, bacon, sausage, cold cuts Curing – most common processing method
Meat injected with or placed in mixture of salt, sugar, sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, ascorbic acid, and water – function as preservatives; nitrates prevent growth of botulin bacteria
