Keeping tabs on the fat content in ground beef is becoming less troublesome.
While many meat and poultry processors have long used fat analysis systems to measure leanness levels, evolving technologies are making it simpler for the operators to perform readings. Elements include the ability to more easily place machines at any point of the production line to check incoming raw materials and analyze the fat and lean mix in meat products. Some systems, meanwhile, can simultaneously check for foreign objects in the meat along with conducting fat measurements.
