The number of retail outlets in the Boston and New England area will in crease substantially within the next few months, and negotiations are underway with packers in lowa, in an effort to bring Certified Angus Beef to that state. In addition, announcement of the name of the first restaurant to feature Cer tified Angus Beef is expected this month, Colvin said. “Strict quality standards govern the selection of Certified Angus Beef,” Colvin explained. “And tius assures consumers of get ting a higher quality, con sistently better, product than is normally available in most supermarkets.” In addition to being from Angus cattle, the CAB carcasses must meet the following seven qualifications:' have at least modest (average Choice) marbling; fall within the “A” maturity range; yield grade 3 or better for Prime and no higher than the mid point of the 3 grade for Choice; lean must be within the “fine” texture range; have fine to medium mar bling texture; color of lean must be slightly dark red or lighter; meat must be moderately firm with no indication of softeness. The Angus cattle used for CAB are identified and certified at the packing plant and the breed identity is maintained from the live animal to the individual retail cut on the super market shelf. P.O.

Then those carcasses that meet or exceed the seven Certified Angus Beef specifications are rolled with the trademarked “Certified Angus Beef’ stamp. “Certified Angus Beef is an outgrowth of the decline of USDA beef quality grading standards, com binetfwith desire on the part of many Angus breeders for a program to identify the superior Angus beef carcass traits and market them to consumers,” said Mick Colvin. “We have found also, that many retailers and. consumers are not happy with the wide range of quality that is found within the USDA Choice grade, and we designed the CAB program to eliminate this problem.” The American Angus Association does not take ownership of the cattle or the beef. The Angus cattle are obtained by the packer, and the carcasses or boxes of primal cuts are sold directly to the participating retail outlet. Participating packers and retailers sign an agreement with the American Angus Association, that spells out how the program is to operate. Both packer and retailer are subject to unannounced inspections by a CAB representative to insure that all the provisions of the program are being followed. Call Collect 717-665-7150 Zip
