Meat Industry Seeks Leaner Hogs For New Pork Cuts
Houston April 30 The American Meat Institute chairman George W. Stark announced at the American Stock Yards Association meeting that the industry is retooling raw materials to produce leaner tastier pork chops and hams. About 25 percent of hogs meet the new model standard, with most hoards expected to shift within five years to the meat-type hog. Pork is described as the leanest in history as packers trim calories from existing cuts to meet slimmer consumer diets.
