Pork Bnls Cc Strap-off
USDA Spec
IMPS 2020 §413In simple termsThe whole boneless pork loin, also called 'BRT' (boneless ready-to-cook) or the long-cut boneless loin. The dominant input for boneless pork chop and loin roast programs at retail, and the parent for the Canadian Back. Main muscle: M. longissimus.
The plant has pulled the ventral flap (iliocostalis + inner abdominal oblique + cover fat) before sale. What is left is a clean longissimus loin eye, portion-ready for chops or roasts. The USDA IMPS 400 spec calls this PSO 3 of IMPS 413 ('belly strap off') and names the product 'Main Muscle' or 'Canadian Back' verbatim. Trades roughly $30-40/cwt premium to strap-on for the yield loss: a strap-off loin is about 30% lighter than the strap-on equivalent (Overholt 2018). End markets: case-ready pork chop programs at US retail and the Japan tonkatsu trade. Canadian processors like Olymel ship the same spec as 'FLCR' (False Lean Completely Removed).
Prepared from Item 410. All skin, bones, cartilages, tenderloin, and lean and fat overlying the blade bone removed. The leg end exposed by a straight cut showing no evidence of the quadriceps group or the M. longissimus. The belly removed by a cut from a point ventral to but not more than 2.0 inches from the M. longissimus at the shoulder end to a point on the leg end no more than 1.0 inch ventral to the M. longissimus and/or M. gluteus medius. Surface fat must not exceed 0.25 inch in depth.
