15240  Debone and cut meat primal cuts into retail cuts  Level 4  NQF Level 04  10   

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD 
This unit standard is intended for a person working in the fresh meat processing and retail industry who has the responsibility of de-boning meat primal cuts and cutting all primal cuts into retail cuts.

A person credited with this unit standard is able to:
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the de-boning and cutting of meat primal cuts into retail cuts.
  • Prepare for the de-boning and cutting of meat primal cuts into retail cuts.
  • De-bone and cut meat primal cuts into retail cuts.
  • Perform relevant procedures after de-boning and cutting.

    Range:
  • Meat includes meat obtained from the normal, domesticated range of animals usually used as meat suitable for human consumption, e.g. calves and cattle, lambs and sheep, piglets and pigs, kids and goats, as well as ostriches, horses, donkeys and large (e.g. kudu) and small (e.g. springbok) game species.
  • Meat excluded from this range is crocodile meat and poultry.
  • The assessment criteria of this unit standard must be applied to at least two of the above-mentioned species, one of which must be beef.

    This unit standard will contribute to the full development of the learner within the fresh meat processing, retailing and abattoir environment by providing recognition, further mobility and transportability within the field of manufacturing and assembly. The skills, knowledge and understanding demonstrated within this unit standard are essential for social and economic transformation and contribute to the upliftment and economic growth within the fresh meat processing, retailing and abattoir environment.
