RFN Meat
Also known as Reddish-pink Firm Non-exudative meat, RFN, Normal meat
The normal, desirable meat quality: good reddish colour, firm, and holding water well.
RFN meat is the standard every other class is measured against, reddish-pink, firm, and non-exudative, holding its water well. It comes from a normal, steady pH fall in an unstressed animal, and it is what a curesmith wants on the bench: it binds cleanly, cures evenly and keeps well. Naming the ideal makes the defects easier to spot.
