nutrient dense, but highly perishable food commodities. In order to reduce
waste, spoilage, recalls linked to contamination with pathogens,
etc. innovative and effective strategies to improve microbial control
have to emerge in order to improve our sustainability towards meat
and meat products. These new approaches may also include tighter
management systems. For example, Moisson Beauce, which is a nonfor-
profit organization, helps people living with difficult socioeconomic
situations. It carries many activities like a food bank and reinsertion
programs. In partnership with a grocery chain, they have implemented
a meat recuperation program in order to reduce waste and to
provide beneficiaries with more nutritious foods (Fournier, 2015). In
this case, meat is frozen before the best before date and processed in
provincially inspected kitchens before being served to beneficiaries of
charitable organizations. Alternatively, meat could be sold at some
point at a discount price before the end of shelf life. But if the product
is not handled properly by the consumer, poor eating experience and
safety issues may arise.
