Guidance

Dehydrated rind protein (DRINDE®) can be used in comminuted and ground meat applications, typically sausage, sausage roll and pork pie recipes.

DRINDE® does not need to be labelled and is part of the meat content for QUID when used in naturally associated proportions.

Relevant guidance:
• Food Standards Agency  “labelling and Composition of Meat Products”
• Annex C  Table of Typical Values for Meat Ingredients

• CLITRAVI (the European Professional Organisation for the meat industry, Belgium) - interpretation and recommendations:-

At mixing bowl level, the meat manufacturer often adds separate fat and connective tissue (e.g. as back fat and dried rind, respectively) obtained from the same species possibly from another source because the meat cuts used are often too lean according to the recipe.

Specific limits of fat and connective tissue that count towards the meat content should be considered, these are:

 Fat Connective Tissue 
 Pork  30% 25% 
 Beef  25% 25%
 Rabbit & Poultry  15% 10%
