Consumers, especially millennial shoppers, often express uncertainty about how to select and prepare meat and poultry products sold at retail. MyMeatUp addresses that critical knowledge gap with its unique cuts of meat feature that visually displays the most common retail beef, veal, pork and lamb cuts. By selecting a specific part of an animal, shoppers can view images of common retail cuts, along with corresponding explanations, creative recipe ideas and proper cooking methods. Users can also take advantage of the app’s search function to quickly find information about cuts with which they are unfamiliar, making it a must-have resource when shopping.  

Beyond the guide to different cuts, MyMeatUp offers a searchable glossary of common terms found on meat product labels, such as “natural,” “grass-fed,” “antibiotic-free” and “no hormones added,” among others. The app also addresses common questions about the meat and poultry industry including antibiotic use in animal agriculture, animal welfare practices, environmental concerns and nutrition facts. It includes important food safety and preparation tips, along with a video guide to using a meat thermometer. These features aim to provide much-needed clarity and transparency to consumers navigating the abundance of choices offered in the meat case to ensure purchases match their preferences.
