Meat Lab
The Meat Processing Lab allows students to work with processing food at a smaller scale, and thus play a hand in every aspect of the operation. The lab produces various meat products such as beef, and depending on the semester, chicken and pork as well. It is often used for both instructional and commercial purposes, as BYU-Idaho sells much of the meat produced in the lab. The lab takes pride in maintaining sanitation and efficiency before, during, and after lab use as well as producing quality products.
