Patent number: 10154683Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for producing irregular pieces of meat from meat products. Further, a method of mass-producing a home-style meat product with an irregular appearance includes combining whole muscle meat with a mixture having a low-phosphate solution and/or a low-salt solution and cooking the combination to produce whole muscle meat logs. Once the whole muscle meat has been cooked, the meat may be pulled, shredded, or sliced on a variety of pulling, shredding, and slicing equipment to create a home-style meat product with an irregular appearance.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2017Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: Kraft Foods Group Brands LLCInventors: Matthew A. Hurm, Mark E. Malenke, Amy Lynn Nehls, Muluken Tilahun, Edward A. Kusmider, Carrie K. Giannettino, Randy Glynn, Sarah C. Humke, Lynda Cabrales

Patent number: 8641263Abstract: A continuous method and system for processing whole muscle meat employs a mixer housing having a pair of parallel rotating shafts located therein. The parallel rotating shafts have a plurality of mixing elements thereon, such as frustoconical elements, blocking elements, or ellipsoid elements. The mixer housing has an input end to receive the meat ingredients, such as meat pieces, salt solution, water, preservatives, and other additives such as spices. The mixer housing has an output, which is separated a distance from the input, such that the output discharges the whole muscle meat product. As the ingredients including the meat move from the input to the output along the shafts, the mixing elements work the meat with the other ingredients thereby increasing ingredient incorporation including diffusion of the salt solution into the whole muscle meat pieces.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2008Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Kraft Foods Group Brands LLCInventors: Lynda Cabrales, Maurine Anne MacBride, Jeremy Alan Thuerk, Paul Gerard Morin
