Abstract

Beef contains a plethora of healthy nutrients and it is the highest valued livestockbased food product. However, other meats (such as pork and poultry) and co-products of the meat industry can also be nutrient-dense with advantageous sensorial and technological qualities. The current standardization and grading schemes can assist in describing meats for their eating quality and/or fabrication yield, but more innovative, objective technologies are much needed to improve the segregation of the heterogeneous supply of carcasses and cuts into more homogeneous groups as regards quality and/or yield. In terms of food safety, while there have been significant improvements in reducing foodborne illnesses in the meat industry, the morbidity and mortality attributed to Salmonella, E. coli O157: H7, Listeria monocytogenes, Campylobacter jejuni, and other pathogens remain an issue with serious socioeconomic impacts. There is, therefore, a need to evaluate antimicrobials and technologies
