Meat industry technician in production of meat-based products
Description
Butchers are in charge of handling, preserving, and selling meat, as well as well as the elaboration of derived meat products for human consumption or industrial use.
These professionals know the product with which they work and the cutting techniques very well, which allow them to carry out handling operations, such as cutting or filleting and making the most of each piece of meat. They also deal with the elaboration of derived products such as hamburgers, sausages, meatballs, among others, complying with current regulations and maintaining the required quality and hygiene.
Butchers work in a workshop, carrying out cutting and industrial elaborations, or in a butcher shop, serving customers. In the latter case, they are in charge of direct sales and attention, informing about the offer of lamb, veal, beef, pork and poultry, as well as the delicatessen and/or other products made, highlighting the origin and traceability of the product as well as its quality. In addition, they perform advisory tasks on recipes (stews, cuts, stuffing, etc.) and the type of meat product that is needed for each one, or inform about the conservation times and other recommendations in order to guarantee optimal consumption of the product and customer satisfaction.
