The environmental hoofprint of Canada’s beef industry

Research on the Record with Reynold Bergen

By
Our industry is maligned for producing greenhouse gas.

Pasteurizing beef trimmings in ground beef

News Roundup from the December 2015 issue of Canadian Cattlemen

By
Currently packers use sprays and hot water pasteurization techniques during slaughter and fabrication to reduce the number of potentially harmful bacteria on the surface of meat as it goes through the plant.
