New Strategies in Production and Product Quality Control of Fresh Meat

Dear Colleagues,

 

The meat sector has evolved during the last few decades to take advantage of new opportunities and address numerous challenges. International trade, niche markets, environmental impact, animal welfare, and human nutrition are only some of the many factors shaping the way we produce and market meat around the world. Moreover, quality assurance and classification systems are more important than ever, as buyers and consumers are becoming more exigent, and competition for the global market requires novel technologies which can meet such requirements. In this Special Issue of Foods, we will explore new strategies to be implemented in the meat sector, both at the production and quality control stages.
