The Ground Beef category is the backbone of any retail meat operation. With over 50% of beef tonnage (nationally) sold as ground beef, it is the staple product of the meat case.
It must be the first priority of all meat retailers to have in place a set of quality assurance guidelines, or Good Retail Practices (GRPs), that enable the operator to maximize the profitability of the category as well as producing a wholesome and safe product to their consumers.
The Beef Information Centre is a partner in the development, implementation and distribution of a Good Retail Practices program for retail meat operations. The program contains a section dedicated to ground beef safety and profitability.
The laminated wall size Good Retail Practices posters included in the kit are on the following topics:
Display
Fabrication
Grinding
Packaging
Processing
Receiving
Sausage
Storage
