The class, which will be held Aug. 1-3 at Texas A&M’s Rosenthal Meat Science and Technology Center, is open to anyone in the meat industry – specifically those involved in the buying and selling of meat products including those involved in purchasing, marketing, product development, brand or product management, quality assurance and chefs.
The 2 ½-day seminar includes a detailed cutting demonstration of all the major center of the plate protein items: beef, veal, lamb and pork, as well as sections on poultry and processed meats. Attendees will come away with an increased knowledge of center of the plate items and a copy of NAMI’s Meat Buyer’s Guide.
The course is co-hosted by the American Association of Meat Processors, American Meat Science Association, Chicago Midwest Meat Association, Canadian Meat Council, Southwest Meat Association and Southeastern Meat Association. Center of the Plate is funded in part by the Beef Checkoff and is co-sponsored by the Pork Checkoff, Lamb Checkoff and Merck Animal Health.
