Show detail Hide detail

A new lamb grading system has been implemented in Canada. In the cities of Moose Jaw, Regina, Prince Albert, and Saskatoon, use of the grading system is mandatory under provincial legislation. Elsewhere grades are optional. Like beef grades, lamb grades are broken down into A's, B's and C's. The top grade, Canada A, can be identified by a red ribbon stamp along the side of most cuts. This grade is further subdivided into 4 categories, Canada Al to Canada A4, according to the amount of fat cover. Canada Al lamb has the least fat while Canada A4 has the most. Blue and brown stamps are used to label Canada B and C grades. But since these have less fat cover than is normally considered desirable, they'll be found less frequently in retail stores. Mutton has a special grade of its own-Canada D. This is labelled with a black stamp. Within the Canada D grade there are 4 categories. Canada Dl is the top quality of mutton while Canada D4 is the poorest. Since this grading system indicates the quality and fat content of lamb and mutton, consumers will benefit from its implementation. Those familiar with the grades will be able to identify the meat which best suits their needs. <1mn 22s>
