Quality & Consistency for the Meat Industry Lifestyle changes and the increasing demand from the discerning consumer have led to tremendous changes and pressures on the red meat industry in terms of product integrity and consistency. This, coupled with more and more meat products and specifications being readily available in the retail and catering market place, has resulted in varying degrees of product inconsistency and standards. The variations inherent in meat carcases and processing methods have also contributed to these inconsistencies. With this in mind, AHDB Beef & Lamb has developed a completely new specification and coding for beef, veal, lamb and mutton products. The specifications in the guide are very clear and concise. They include codes for each product and a step-by-step guide on the processing procedures and techniques. Born in Holland, Dick did his training at the widely acclaimed Utrecht School of butchery and with 35 years industry experience, he is now acknowledged as a leading authority in butchery skills and meat processing. Meeting the demands of the meat buyer Dick van Leeuwen Dick has worked in retail outlets, processing plants and at The Meat and Livestock Commission, where he developed many new products and cutting techniques and, for the last 12 years for AHDB Beef & Lamb, primarily with abattoirs, processors and specialist butchers. He has produced various meat cutting publications to assist butchers and caterers to improve quality and consistency, by using the latest seam-butchery techniques. In 2007, Dick launched the Cutting Specification Manual and Meat Purchasing Guide, which have been widely embraced throughout the whole industry and are now recognised as the bibles of product specifications. Recently identified by world-renowned meat scientist, Dr Chris Calkins, as the finest meat publication I have ever seen, Dick continues to develop new products to add to these publications. visit www.qsmbeefandlamb.co.uk
Higher Standards, Better Returns The Quality Standard Mark Scheme was launched in October 2004 to enhance the market conditions. The scheme has now strengthened its specifications for beef, veal and lamb to improve efficiency, add value in the supply chain and guarantee enhanced eating quality. The scheme provides consumers with assured beef, veal and lamb from the farm to point of purchase, providing provenance and integrity throughout the supply chain. The standards and specifications cover farm assurance and quality assurance throughout the supply chain, animal age, carcase specifications, maturation, eating quality and care for the environment. Specifications for Quality Standard Mark beef Females under the age of 36 months are acceptable. They must not have been used for breeding or be in calf, they must not be pregnant. Steers under the age of 36 months are acceptable. Carcases must have a fat class of between 2 4H and have a conformation of E O+. For qualifying livestock 30 months or under: Maturation of 7 days is required on primals used for frying, roasting and grilling (from slaughter to the final consumer). For qualifying livestock aged between 30 36 months: Maturation of 14 days is required on primals used for frying, roasting and grilling (from slaughter to the final consumer). Alternatively, one of the post-slaughter processes to enhance tenderness, as outlined in AHDB Beef & Lamb Guidance to Meat Quality, can be used ie, Hip bone suspension or electrical stimulation plus the standard 7 day maturation as outlined for under 30 months cattle. Bulls must be no older than 16 months at slaughter. Primals used for frying, roasting and grilling must be subject to a minimum 14 days maturation (from slaughter to the final consumer). Meat from young cattle is subject to specific labelling requirements based on age at slaughter. Meat from such animals must be labelled as either veal or beef depending on age. Therefore, the Quality Standard Mark veal logo will apply to meat from animals under 8 months of age Specifications for Quality Standard Mark lamb Females must have no permanent incisors and neither have been used for breeding or pregnant ie nulliparous and not pregnant. Castrated and entire males must have no permanent incisors. Carcases must have a fat class of between 2 3H and have a conformation of between E O. An equivalent to classification is acceptable for plants not grading lamb. Carcases of any acceptable animal slaughtered during the period from 1 January through to 30 April of any year and born before 1 October of the previous year must be subjected to minimum of 7 days maturation (and ideally 10 days) from slaughter to the final consumer. Alternatively one of the post-slaughter processes to enhance tenderness, as outlined in AHDB Beef & Lamb Guidance to Meat Quality, can be used ie Aitch bone suspension or electrical stimulation.
