Does packaged sliced meat count as meat or meat product?
If the sliced meat is pure meat sliced from a joint e.g. ham or beef this would count towards the red meat standard rather than the meat products standard. However, if the sliced meat is processed and includes other ingredients e.g. corned beef, this would count towards the meat products standard. For further clarification of these categories, please refer to the revised guide to the interim food-based standards or to the Meat Products Regulations (2003) No. 2075.
