BEEF / VEAL CHILLER ASSESSMENT LANGUAGE
The Australian Bovine Carcase Assessment Scheme (Chiller Assessment Language for Beef and Veal) brochure illustrates and describes the process of assessment of carcase attributes.
Chiller Assessment Language was developed to enable AUS-MEAT accredited Enterprises to assess, grade or class Beef and Veal carcases using a uniform set of standards under controlled conditions.
The scheme provides a means of describing meat characteristics and classifying product prior to packaging.
These characteristics include the colour of meat and fat, the amount of marbling, eye muscle area, the fat depth and the maturity of the carcase.
Assessments are made by qualified assessors and results are allocated to the carcase and provide a means of (carcase) selection according to individual contract specifications, grading schemes and or company brand requirements.
The AUS-MEAT Chiller Assessment Language is only available to AUS-MEAT accredited Enterprises, their clients and suppliers.
