Where a prepared meat operator can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a prepared meat operator already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

They perform preservation processes such as pasteurising, salting, drying, freeze-drying, fermenting and smoking. Prepared meat operators strive to keep meat free from germs and other health risks for a longer period than fresh meat.
