However, meat, poultry, and egg products may be transferred to and from other modes of transportation during shipment and held at intermediate warehouses as well as at transfer or handling facilities, such as airports, break-bulk terminals, and rail sidings.
Because transportation and storage are vital links in the farm-to-table food chain, effective control measures are essential at each point in the food distribution chain to prevent unintentional contamination.
Meat should be transported in a correct manner, to make sure no contamination takes place nor bacteria can grow on the product. There are three types of meat products produced as a result of slaughter:. The transportation of each of these products has different guidelines. Frozen meat products for example can be transported all over the world. Fresh meat products have a limited shelf life and therefore have to be in the supermarket within two days. Fresh meat products are therefore not transported long distances typically.
Processed meat products can either be fresh or frozen. With this being said, trucks are therefore the most common transportation method, especially concerning fresh meats. Fresh meat products are transported with trucks from the slaughterhouse to the retailers and the super market. My wife, our oldest son and I apprentised with Cole for 18 months in preperation for opening our own on-farm inspected butcher shop.
We raise pastured pigs and as Cole mentioned, dry aging works. We've been doing that for years with our pork. By the way, ours are a Yorkshire x Large Black x Berkshire cross - all three are very old traditional breeds that are great in the natural setting of pasture.

Does anyone know anything about the meat processing timeline?
Ought to be within days. For well-seasoned beef, it is more likely too short between slaughtering and selling than too long, and you'd do good to hang the piece of meat in your fridge a few days more.
An exception is this silly Brazilian beef that's been vac-packed, like, months before it's sold in the stores: "Well-seasoned beef; the somewhat sour smell upon opening the package will dissipate after a few minutes. Pitched the whole rig, I did: wrapping, make-believe small print, and beef.
Best answer: More about aging meat. Beef should hang for a few weeks, but as Namlit mentions, most meat in the supermarket is not properly aged. Aging increases cost, because of rent and power for the storage facilities.
I know in larger stores they butcher the carcasses right in house. What you need to look at is how long it has been sitting on the store shelf. Most stores I've been to have a sell-by date that is a couple days away from spoilage.
And I am almost sure aged beef needs to be done by the carcass or by the primal. A sliced steak can't possibly be improved by sitting out in the air. Best answer: I used to work in the perishables warehouse for a large grocery chain in the Midwest stores. Most of the meat came in pre-cut by kind - shanks, loins, etc.
