Over the last thirty years food consumption in restaurants has grown tremendously. The food service segment does not always follow the Uniform Meat Identity Standards thus meat cut names used on restaurant menus do not correspond with names used for labeling meat in the retail segment. This can cause confusion with consumers.
When a consumer is shopping for a cut of meat based on a restaurant menu name, it is important to remember that the name may not be the same on the retail meat case package because it may not be an URMIS name. These lists provide the most popular names used on restaurant menus with a cross-reference to the URMIS name.
