DETERMINATION OF THE TOTAL LIPID CONTENT OF PORK RETAIL CUTS AT TWO EXTERNAL FAT TRIM LEVELS Academic Article

abstract

• Currently, retailers are required to conduct semiannual or annual analyses of their labeled products under the USDA's Nutritional Labeling Verification procedures. The following study analyzed pork retail cuts that were trimmed to 0.0 cm or 0.64 cm external fat remaining. Lipid content was analyzed to determine the cuts that met lean (<10% total fat) and extralean (<5% total fat) specifications. The tenderloin, inside ham steak, and inside ham roast trimmed to 0.0 cm external fat remaining met the requirements for extralean labeling. The loin chop, loin roast, tip steak and tip roast trimmed to 0.0 cm external fat remaining, and the inside ham steak and inside ham roast trimmed to 0.64 cm external fat remaining, met the specifications for lean labeling.
