  5. DEFINITIONS • Meat preparations: Fresh meat with added foodstuffs, seasonings or additives added or processed insufficient to modify the internal muscle fibre structure of the meat and thus to eliminate the characteristics of fresh meat. • Meat products: Processed products resulting from the processing of meat or met preparations so that the cut surface shows that that the product no longer has the characteristics of fresh meat 9 Fresh meat products, meat food products,sausages)
