is fresh
A---newly butchered???----
Any newly butchered meat is fresh.
B--no additives??--
Meats with no additives is classified as organic.
C -- if it can have additives--does this mean no cures----[such as Italian or polish sausage??]
Any meat that has been cured can be classified as "fresh" as long as the meat as not been frozen.
D--never frozen--??
Any beef, pork, lamb or fish that has been frozen at 32* F. is classified as frozen. Poultry that has been frozen at 32* F. is classified as "fresh". It's not classified as "frozen" unless it has been frozen at 0* F.
 
Bill, I could never figure that out, but you your might be one to something!!
