The main points to check when buying meat, and especially standardized meat, are the following:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Color<\/strong>: Beef should have a bright red color and no brown spots at all. The presence of the latter may be a sign of improper storage or even spoiled meat.<\/p>\n<p>Pork, although labeled as \u201cthe other white meat\u201d, should also have a pink\/red hue, not a hue that suggests white meat.<\/p>\n<p>Chicken should have a light pink color and its fatty parts should be white. If the flesh is grayish or green, or if the fat is yellow, this may be a sign of spoilage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fat<\/strong>: Very fatty meat should be avoided, but pork and beef should have adequate amounts of fat around the meat. While beef meat should also incorporate fat. Fat makes the meat taste better but also protects it from spoilage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Liquid<\/strong>: A small amount of liquid inside the package is normal \u2013 that is why the trays usually have an absorbent layer under the meat. But when the amount of liquid exceeds a certain limit, this may be a sign that the meat has not been stored or preserved properly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Packaging<\/strong>: There is a lot of useful information in the packaging, which we should consider before purchasing a product. At the same time, however, in addition to the content, we must also examine the packaging itself. It should be clean and undamaged, as this may affect the quality of its content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Packaged meat and meat products are a commercial trend that is constantly winning over the Greek consumer public.
