Genie how did we get here oh you know break one sound barrier and you break them all well what are we doing here this is scene one the me packing plant but suppose a real Authority describes it to you friend of mine from the US Department of Agriculture name's George we'll let George do it take over George glad to Genie I'm going to tell you about Meat Inspection let's begin with one of our key men the USDA inspector in charge he's a doctor doctor of veterinary medicine at the moment he's checking be fers and remember this Janet 85% of our meat gets this treatment before a single piece of meat can move from state to state inspection is a must how do you know if meat's been given this treatment look for the official staff this tells us that the meat products we buy are inspected for our protection once main cuts and edible parts are found to be wholesome clean and safe they rate the official stamp of inspection it's a big job Janet a challenge to the staff of inspectors who work under the man in charge and inspection doesn't Overlook one of your favorite foods in mine frankfurters USDA sees that every machine is scrupulously clean we also okay design construction a whole bit now when your hot dog is USDA inspected rest assured you're biting into a wholesome the USDA appears on a label of every inspected package call it a weener or a weenie a frankfur or a just plain Frank it's still a hot dog and a wholesome one and that goes for all federally inspected processed meat products before meat can leave the packing plant it must be safe yes but meeting Federal inspection requirements doesn't mean a tender stake no Janet that's another Matter meet quality and it has its own USDA guide quality is judged by a USDA meat grader an expert in meat while two carcasses may look pretty much the same to us a meet greater sees a world of difference he rates each carcass against the federal quality requirements for each grade USDA Prime Choice good and standard one important quality factor is age another marbling little specks of fat within the lean USDA good beef has little marbling it's not as flavorful and juicy as higher grades but cooked properly it's good eating now this is the top grade USDA prime prime steaks and roast are very tender juicy and flavorful USDA Choice beef is very popular with most consumers and widely available when you shop so Janet know what grade you're buying look for the USDA grade stamp found on almost every retail cut of graded carcass as for the purple Dy it's a harmless food coloring that tells an important story and now that you know your grades Janet next thing to know is your Cuts right George wrong I don't know one cut from another oh we'll take care of that in a flashh but first we need a kitchen USA USDA cnms Sabra cadabra come on Janet pop on in again okay friend George Carry On Now Janet let's look at some beef cuts this RI roast and those Porter House and Sirloin steaks are naturally more tender than many other Cuts their grade is important too it's your guide to just how tender and flavorful they'll taste you can rely on this rib roast us da choice now just add a bit of brown sorcery and food fit for Genie these porterhouse steaks and that sirloin steak all look good too don't they you can broil them in all confidence Janet they are tender cuts and USDA choice now here's a less tender cut a blade Chuck it's been grated USDA good and makes good eating when cooked properly the trick moist heat like pot roasting makes less tender cuts and lower grade meat tender and good to The Taste So when you buy beef and cook it remember two things cut and grade ve and lammer graded much the same way so look for the grade shield on these meats too well that just about touches them high spots of inspection and Grading of meat how does the same system work for poultry let's go to a place where birds are processed a poultry processing plant you crazy Genie what are you doing up there I want to see if I pass inspection a kitchen reject here again inspection is required of all birds that are handled by plants which sell their products across state lines like the meat Packer the poultry processor must meet the same meticulous requirements throughout his plant every bird must be individually inspected it must prove to be wholesome or else it is condemned Birds too are graded once again remember inspection for wholesomeness grading for Quality you know Janet when I was a kid genie my father was his own processor his own Spector his own butcher his own grater and his own yes but today the shield you see on birds is a welcome sign of high quality eating only the plumpest the meest are tagged us grade A whether they are fresh or frozen from your Thanksgiving and Christmas turkey to The Gourmet rock cornish hen which can now Grace everybody's table look Genie frozen dinners they're easy to cook all you have to do is put them in the oven and heat them up and eat them up what's more eat them in confidence Janet because they too are inspected the label tells you just check it like all good Shoppers now here's the federal inspection laboratory where products are checked but where's Genie Genie where are you [Music] Genie what are you doing in there come out of there Genie a gee Janet I'm trying to play it real [Music] cool hey look the home economist are here they want to make sure the label is able and stable okay Genie who's going to tell me about labeling labeling is still my department Janet now the job of our home economist is to make sure the package contains exactly say it does before a processor puts out a new product or makes changes in his label he must first get usda's approval the home economists help check out the product to make sure that the package will contain exactly what the label claims it does what's printed on the outside must be the true story of what's inside take your frozen dinner it must meet strict USDA requirements such as the right amount of meat now let's leave the test kitchen and look at a lab where a chemical analysis is ready to take [Music] place I'll say what's so funny how do you always manage to get into these situations occupy AAL Hazard my father used to warn me never be a genie don't ever be a genie Janet do you mean there can be girl genies do you have a genie girlfriend come on tell me well she has light brown hair and well you know the rest excuse me you two to continue with labeling please by checking samples of meat which are sent in the chemist serves as a scientific back stop for the inspector working in the processing plant at his request the chemist analyzes a product for any number of things for instance have unapproved substances been added which might misrepresent the appearance or taste of the product do the amounts of each ingredient used conform to the formula which had been approved is the amount of moisture contained in the product within the limitations established by by USDA does the product contain harmful bacteria or residues tests such as these are designed to assure you that you will get wholesome food as shown on the label the label design itself must also meet USDA requirements it must show the common name of the product along with the name and address of the Packer or distributor the inspection stamp must be clearly displayed net weight must be shown ingredients listed by the accepted name of the item and Janet here's a hint that will help you know exactly what it is you're buying the item weighing the most must be listed first and so on down the line to the item of the lightest weight since brown gravy is here listed first the product contains more gravy than sliced beef and to be called chili concar with beans ingredients must contain at least 20 5% meat in Spanish Janet Carney means meat okay suppose the label is approved how do we know the processor won't break the rules H the USDA inspector is your insurance and mine but rules are not broken no phony baloney I thank you The Shopper knows what she's buying because it's all there on the label say we'd make a great team yes I can see it now Janet and the genie I was thinking of Genie and Janet oh no I like Janet and a genie better oh I don't care just as long as we're together by the way Janet do you like apples Y and I suppose George is going to tell me all about them well I was kind of thinking of Charlie okay Genie who's Charlie friend of mine friend of mine from USDA knows all about it yes Genie I know name's Charlie Adams he really knows his apples hi Janet did you know there are more than 300 us grade standards for all kinds of fruits and vegetables here's a USDA specialist at work grading apples Janet he checks to see if the label is accurate it looks for blemishes and defects only a minimum are allowed if fruit is to be called Fancy he then checks for size to arrive at an accurate grade he samples just enough the final test is the apple good eating now let's see how processed fruits and vegetables are grad this plant is operating under USDA continuous inspection service which means it must meet strict requirements of cleanliness and have proper equipment to do an expert processing job incoming raw produce is checked for Quality the entire operation falls under the supervision of a US USDA greater and when the final product measures up to the USDA standard it may then wear the US great a shield any second you're going to see something pretty Saucy there it is he's taking those samples to the laboratory Janet let's go okay Janet now let's watch how a USDA specialist goes about checking the quality of applesauce he first checks weight to make sure contents weigh what the label claims a puncture test tells him if the canning job is a good one so there will be no doubt about the keeping quality he must next judge color consistency and if there are any defects all according to USDA [Music] standards the taste test is mighty important too and the greater also uses scientific equipment to measure [Music] sweetness so when you see that us grade a shield on fruits and vegetables canned Frozen or or dried now you know Janet it is backed up by the considered opinion of an expert and by a good bit of science too what about an inspector somewhere else in the country what are his standards Janet let me show you something fol you didn't it to get back to your question Janet greaters the country overuse identical USDA standards as their guide to judge quality and to help them interpret these standards in the same way we give them visual aids say a greater needs to judge how red a red delicious must be to Merit the grade us fancy he looks at an apple model for guidance now see this fellow Janet he's using a color comp um a color compar a color comparator color comparator genie that's another kind of visual aid we provide for graders to help help them judge color such as the color quality of peas color's tricky and it's an important factor of quality well so much for fruits and vegetables let's Shuffle off to dairy product now how do you like this plant Janet here's where they make butter okay who's going to tell me about Dairy inspection George or Charlie Sam Sam Sam Hill hey Sam Hill what's going on around here great doua but sure that's what Genie the butter grater relies heavily upon his senses before he can assign the US grade AA the aroma must be pleasing the texture fine here again a sample is compared against a visual aid looks good doesn't it yes but how does it taste that's the most important test of all then a final [Music] check The Grater is about to take these samples into the laboratory for a keeping test to make sure that butter carrying the USDA grade Mark will retain its fine flavor and texture now Janet here's what you look for in the store the grade Shield it tells you that your butter meets all requirements of official grade standards and you can find the quality of butter you wish simply by looking for the appropriate grade Mark able a made of high quality sweet cream has a pleasant Aroma sweet flavor and creamy texture grade A is almost as [Music] good Grade B lacks the Fine Fresh flavor of the two higher grades but pleases many who like its slightly acid [Music] taste butter is not the only dairy product grated Janet cheddar cheese can earn the same double A or a rating as butter in much the same way way on the basis of flavor texture and [Music] body and then some dairy products like cottage cheese and processed cheese may earn the quality approved Shield which means they were manufactured under usda's quality control program and qualify as good clean products Genie where are we why is it so dark in here look over there Janet Genie what's he doing candling eggs looking inside to see what grade to give them genie that's not your voice darn it I thought I could fool you but why I thought you'd like me better if I had a nice boy like my friends oh Genie I like you just the way you are yippe yippe and now Merryweather you may take over Merryweather first George then Charlie then Sam and now Merryweather Merryweather here like so many of the products you saw today Janet eggs too are graded here's one way candling candling lets the graders see a number of things that determine the egg grade is there a small air cell inside is the white of the egg clear and firm is the Yol free of defects the better the egg the higher the grade let's look at another method of grading shell breaking a system used in a special quality control program once The Grater has gathered up and weighed his samples he breaks them out thus quality meets the eye he first measures the height of the white the albumen next condition of the Yol is observed now this is a Grade B egg the white runs and the yolks flat even so it's perfectly eligible for baking devilishly good for angel food and here's a a gray double a egg boil it poach it it's the best eggs are weighed to determine size and the size has no relationship to Quality when a dozen eggs weigh 27 oz they're called extra large at 24 oz they are large size 21 Oz medium size and so on a difference of 3 oz between each weight class and here are the packages look for the grade Mark and remember grade double A A or B for Quality size like extra large large and medium for weight once you know the weights Janet you can compare costs and get the Best Buy that's what makes you a good shoer let's see now tell me if I'm learning gen these are grade A eggs the extra large cost 5 cents more than the large eggs the extra large are the better viy smart girl gray doua butter for that wonderful flavor and Aroma H smarter by the second tops and quality right Genie right Janet this this girl really catches on packed under continuous inspection us gr a fancy more grade a fancy us fancy apples see they're beautiful let's see how I do with meat and P okay Janet a rib roast inspected and passed wholesome safe to eat and graded Choice that'll be for Sunday dinner a T-bone gred Choice daddy's favorite greated Choice it'll make a good Swiss steak you see when you know what you're doing shopping is fun inspected and passed wholesome safe to eat us grade A plump and tasty what a Beauty look at the label we can rely on its information and it will look like this inside how am I doing Genie looks like my Janet doesn't need her Genie anymore well that's how it goes in Genie land learned a lot from you Genie and you know what they loads of fun too wait till I tell Vicki about you you'll have to give her up Genie Genie Genie where are you Genie where did you go I know where you are come out of there Genie Genie guess's go I love you oh
