A Goal To End The Confusion
The Uniform Retail Meat Identity Standards (URMIS) program was established in 1973 by the Industry-wide Cooperative Meat Identification Standards Committee (ICMISC). The consumer oriented identification system was developed to simplify and standardize the perplexing array of fresh meat cuts and their names. The URMIS program, adopted by food stores, was seen as a guarantee for consumers that the same cut of meat would have the same name in every store, in every city across the country. URMIS later led to development of the U.P.C. codes for fresh meats.
