Note 1 The Codex Alimentarius Commission defines meat (including poultry and game) as the edible part of any mammal slaughtered in an abattoir, and poultry meat as the edible part of slaughtered domesticated birds, including chicken, turkeys, ducks, geese, guinea-fowls, or pigeons. (CAC/RCP 13-1976)
Note 2 Current U.S. regulations limit the definition of livestock species to cattle, sheep, swine, goat, horse, mule, or other equine and poultry species to chicken, turkey, duck, goose, and guinea (2, 3).
1.2 This guide addresses all refrigerated and frozen meat and poultry products NOT covered by Guide F1356.
