Meat Processed from Carcasses

The core activities include cutting, deboning, and further processing of meat to produce products such as fresh, frozen, or cured meats, sausages, and other prepared meat products. This industry is distinguished from closely related industries by its focus on transforming whole carcasses into consumer-ready meat products, rather than slaughtering animals or manufacturing meat substitutes.
