ELMWOOD--Wisconsin has graduated its first class from the Master Meat Crafter training program in Madison.
Included is Jake Sailer of Elmwood, Sailer’s Food Market and Meat Processing Inc., whose plant project was “effects of antimicrobials on shelf life of frankfurters.”
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) announces 17 of the state’s meat processors have completed this unique, one-of-a-kind program and have the distinction of being a Master Meat Crafter.
The goals of the Master Meat Crafter Training Program are to: provide participants with in-depth and comprehensive knowledge about meat science and processing principles, provide development opportunities for future meat industry leaders, and help ensure the nation’s meat industry remains strong and viable for years to come.
To finish the program, the 17 graduates needed to complete four program elements including workshops, targeted homework assignments, a mentorship program and a plant project. The program took two years to complete.
These graduates now have the accreditation of being a Master Meat Crafter signifying their skill set and understanding of meat science and processing. A seal of designation will now be used on products produced by the program graduates signaling their status as a Master Meat Crafter.
