Abstract
Two consumer-focused alliances have been set up in Western Australia to offer the consumer a high eating-quality 'branded' pork product. The 'Select Pork' brand (supermarket alliance) involves quality interventions at the producer (crossbred Duroc bloodlines, Halothane free genetics, and immunocastration), processor (aitch bone carcass hanging), and retailer (ageing protocol) stages. The processor and retailer stage interventions for Select Pork will be implemented in mid-2003. The 'Linley Valley Fresh' brand (food service alliance) involves quality interventions at the producer (genetics, breed, and sex) and the processor (brine enhancement) stages. The aim of this experiment was to compare the eating quality of 'branded' pork with non-branded 'generic' pork.
