SAUSAGE PARADISE GERMANY: Behind the scenes of the meat industry WELT FOOD DOKU With a meat production of around eight million tons, Germany is the largest meat producer in Europe and the third largest in the world. On average, every German citizen consumes around 31 kilograms of meat products per year. Pork is the most commonly processed meat - and is particularly often used to make sausage. Boiled sausage alone, in particular Lyoner meat sausage, accounts for a third of total meat consumption. The most popular sausage, however, is a raw sausage: salami. In Germany, a country with over 1,500 types of sausage, sausage production is a significant industry. The focus here is on the processing of pork, especially less valuable cuts, which are used in a variety of sausage products. While cuts such as chops and fillets are sold at a higher price, belly, shoulder and other parts are used in sausage production. A special export item is pig tails, which are mainly sent to the Far East. The German meat industry, dominated by large corporations, is characterized by highly standardized processing methods. These also include the production of salami, Germany's most popular type of sausage, which is offered in an enormous variety of products. The importance of quality and proof of origin is also emphasized, as is the innovative and traditional marketing of sausage products. #sausage #meat #documentary #pork #butcher #salami ????
