Advantages And Disadvantages Of MAP Meat

Presently, speculations have risen about the amount of antibiotics used in the livestock industry and the desire to consume antibiotic-free meats. What is not understood, however, is the USDA has been monitoring the amount of antimicrobial residue in meats for several years. If unsafe levels are detected the meat is not allowed to be sold for human consumption. Yet, fast food chains such as Subway and Chipotle are claiming to go completely antibiotic free within the next decade. The practicality of this becoming a reality is slim due to the need to control, treat, and prevent diseases. To truly understand the importance of the antibiotic usage in cattle it must first be understood what antibiotics are and the reasons they are used. Additionally, the use of vaccinations should be taken into account for the

During slaughter of animals (cattle or chicken) the meat can be contaminated by C. perfringens bacteria with the animal’s intestinal content or even worse by their feces, therefore; meat has to be cooked properly

There are many areas things can go wrong in the process of raising, slaughtering, and packaging the beef for human consumption. Especially so in slaughterhouses and processing plants, as there are many potential contamination hazards, and most depend on human attention to catch and correct. The cattle may arrive at the slaughterhouse with feces on their hides, which present the first risk of contamination as it can be very difficult to remove the hides from the animal without transferring any of the pathogen bearing feces to the carcass. The second high-risk area in the slaughterhouse is the gutting station, where at some locations, workers are expected to keep up an extremely fast pace, as many as sixty cattle per hour, which does not provide adequate time to prevent accidents. A ruptured gut sac can leave a carcass intended for human consumption covered in fecal matter or stomach acids all potentially containing the potentially deadly foodborne bacteria (Schlosser 203). At these slaughterhouses, steps are taken to clean and disinfect the carcasses, but E. coli is hard to kill. It is encouraged by the Agricultural Department to begin testing at these locations for E. coli, but most choose not to, as they stand to suffer significant monetary damage if they discover any E. coli present in their products (Moss 3). Most slaughterhouses will not sell their products to processing plants that plan to pre-screen the meat before combining and

“The meat industry is the industrialized livestock agriculture for production, preservation, and the marketing of meat.”

Studies have been done, but nothing is set in stone. I can't say it is the truth

Million of pounds of meat are consumed by Americans each year. Yet not a lot of people give a thought about where this meat actually comes from. In contrast to time before industrialize farm and big grocery stores; everyone knew their produce came from a local farm. Industrialize farming is a big industry that affect a wide range of aspects in today’s world. The big three aspects that are affected by Industrialize farm are health, economic, and environmental. Industrialize meat farm is a necessary institution, but we must implement changes and reforms to ensure the produce is safe and ethical.

Throughout history, geography has played a very important role in the structure of the meat system. Disparities between geographical locations and specifically mechanization completely transformed the structure of the meat industry particularly pertaining to processing, labor, and waste. The geography and structure of the animal production system has had an evidently direct relationship to how processing has been exercised, how waste has been approached, and the function of labor. Geography has had an effect on the meat system and its properties since the beginning.

When the meat is placed inside the plastic wraps then try to eliminate the excess air out of the bag and seal the bag properly. If the portion of the meat that needs to be stored is too big then the meat should be wrapped in double plastic wraps. Wrapping the piece of meat in double plastic wrapping can really help in maintaining the nutrition level of the cooked meat. Labeling the cooked meat will help in consuming the cooked meat before it gets spoiled.

Every year, at least 40 million people get sick from eating meat that has been improperly handled. One way to lower the risk of becoming ill, is by properly thawing meat before it is cooked. This science fair project used four methods of thawing meat to test which method would limit the likelihood of bacteria growth the most. Using three types of meat: beef, pork and chicken, each meat was thawed in the refrigerator, at room temperature, in water at room temperature, and using a microwave. After each method of thawing, the meat was tested for the presence of bacteria. The testing involved swiping the meat with a sterilized swab then wiping the swab onto an agar Petri dish, a gelatin substance used to grow bacteria. The agar Petri dishes were

Result: a more consolidated meat industry comprising of companies with sophisticated manufacturing and marketing skills, stronger financial positions, and a focus on building value added brands and market share. The race was thus on for new ideas and promotional support to achieve industry leadership. If Om was to remain on top as one of the leading brands, then investments would be needed on promotion and advertisement as well as in research and development. There was a dire need to align the products with consumer trends and satisfy the target audience’s want for products that were faster and easier to use.

Good packages can help preserve food and prolong its shelf life during storage, transport retailing and consumption.

Investigations into developing a more sustainable and eco-friendly aspect of every day life are becoming a major priority. Without such investigations or developments in not only the food packaging sectors, but in many other major industries, this planet along with its inhabitants will surely succumb to the human lust of consumerism and ultimately the waste that such hunger produces. The implantation of ecofriendly “green” packaging options would see a sharp decline in the amount of waste that is produced each year and give the ability to recycle and to produce new items from previously used packaging. In this report the team discuss the concept of biodegradable plastics and their future implementation as “green” food packaging alternatives to the current form of non eco-friendly plastics that are in existing use. Biodegradability refers to a composites ability to be degraded by bacteria or other living organisms, plastics such as these can also be susceptible to water and ultraviolet rays as sources of decomposition with this aspect being discussed within the chapters of this report. As apart of this report, team members assess the discovery, life cycle as well as the current or future applications of three different types of bio-plastic.
