For the purposes of this report, “meat” excludes poultry products, and “red meat” refers to muscle meat (e.g., beef, pork, lamb, and veal).

Also excluded are fish and other seafood; byproducts of slaughtering such as animal hides, skins, and pelts; bones removed during the slaughtering process; lard and tallow; and inedible offal. Furthermore, chickens and other animals grown for their meat on a small scale by consumers on their properties for their own consumption are excluded. Re-exports of meat and poultry products are excluded from trade figures.

This report includes the results of a proprietary national online consumer survey of US adults (age 18+). This Freedonia Focus Reports National Online Consumer Survey has a sample size of approximately 2,000, screened for response quality, and representative of the US population on the demographic measures of age, gender, geographic region, race/ethnicity, household income, and the presence/absence of children in the household.
