Summary

Be it beef, pork or poultry, meat is one of the most popular items on the menu in Europe. For instance, each citizen of the European Union eats about 90 kilograms of meat a year, on average, and the number is rising. In meat processing, strict regulations concerning freshness, quality and hygiene exist to ensure that meat products meet high standards. Refrigeration plays a vital role in meeting these standards.
