The President of INAC Alfredo Fratti and the technical staff of the Domestic Market Directorate presented the Handbook of Alternative Meats – rabbit meat, pig meat, poultry and sheep meat for the Domestic Market.
The launch was attended by representatives of the advising groups for pig meat and poultry that work within INAC’s scope, composed by butchers and farmers of these sectors.
The book is intended for traders and consumers and tries to follow the increase in consumption of poultry and pig meat, as well as the presence of sheep and rabbit meat in butcher's shops and supermarkets shelves.
The President of INAC said that the development of alternative meat consumption is not only a commercial issue and reminded that the National Meat Institute is taking actions to generate a space for participation and joint work in advising groups for pig meat and poultry.
In turn, Gabriel Costas of the Domestic Market Control Directorate said that consumers need a uniform presentation of meat cuts. He also said that this book explains the attributes of each kind meat cut from the nutritional point of view, as well as chef suggestions to prepare them.
