You can find out how many times the meat was frozen and thawed and how long it was frozen by the structure of meat fibers. This was told to Gazeta.Ru by the head of the laboratory of molecular genetics of the Federal Scientific Center for Food Systems named after V.I. Gorbatov Mikhail Minaev .
“You can see it in the structure of the meat fibers. We need to get a histological section of the fibers and compare it with the reference image from the atlas,” he explained.
Freezing dates, however, are rarely violated – when the expiration date expires, the meat can be used for the production of semi-finished products or other products.
“After all, at the expiration date, another product can be developed, and the next one can be made from this product,” Minaev added.
