Meat is a complex and variable raw material and the industry faces many challenges delivering high quality products of suitable shelf life to the consumer, whilst addressing legislative, dietary and environmental requirements.

To address the current issues facing the meat and poultry industry, Campden BRI is holding a seminar on 21st March 2013 (see www.campdenbri.co.uk/meat-poultry-seminar.php). Event director Liz Mulvey explained its aims: “The challenges facing the meat and poultry sector are many and varied. In particular, this seminar will bring delegates up to date on the topical issues of legislation, including the Food Information Regulation, animal feed and implications of plans to reduce the use of antibiotics in animals, EFSA's role in pathogen reduction and meat inspection, the development of an integrated system to measure and predict meat eating quality at the abattoir stage, impacts of the meat and poultry sector on the environment, and vacuum cooling of cooked meat joints.”
