Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent handle meat by species, cut, processing, safety and labelling, and respect dietary and religious rules.

Animal flesh eaten as food, mainly muscle tissue of mammals and birds, including cuts, minced meat and offal, fresh or processed.

What it is for: Food, a source of protein, iron and other nutrients.

It can be cook and eat it; store it safely; label origin and processing; avoid it, for dietary or religious reasons.

Distinguishing features

Animal flesh used as food

Species and cut matter for cooking and safety

Processed meats are classed as carcinogenic (IARC Group 1)

Religious slaughter and dietary rules apply to many people

What it looks like

Red or pale muscle with fat, in cuts such as steaks, minced meat or offal; processed forms such as smoked goose breast.

Physical character

safe core temperature: 63-75 degrees C - depends on meat type and guidance

refrigeration: 0-4 degrees C
