The reason: To help maintain those “country-cured” charac teristics-including taste and texture-traditionally asso ciated with products which, PH. 717 299-2571 nrs ortho chcvhoh *no us mcrr Strasburg opens mini bank Country style kept Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 7.1977 years ago, were preserved by applying salt and removing natural moisture through drying or aging under natural climatic conditons. The new standard defines products like “country style ham” or “dry cured pork shoulder” as uncooked, cured, dried, smoked or unsmoked meat products coming from a single piece of ham or shoulder. These items, which must meet specific preparation requirements, also must be capable of being distributed without refrigeration and weigh at least 18 per cent less than before curing. To allow processors time to adopt new processing techniques, get new labels approved, and market their current stock, the new standard won’t be required until July 1, 1978. 103
