NAMP is concerned with meat industry issues including nutrition, safety and hygiene, government and regulatory affairs, and standardization. It sponsors an annual convention, regional meetings, and training programs. It was founded in 1942 and is headquartered in Reston, Virginia . Primary membership is limited to firms actively involved in processing meat, including Poultry , Seafood , and Game . Associate membership is available to suppliers to meat processors. NAMP is best known, however, for ''The Meat Buyer's Guide'', intended for Butchers and commercial meat purchasers, which is a recognized reference for cutting and grading meat. It is published annually. NAMP maintains a standard numbering system for cuts of meat. EXTERNAL LINKS PUBLICATIONS ''The Meat Buyer's Guide'' (John Wiley & Sons, 2004) ISBN 0471696250 |
