Meat Inspection Marks

After inspection, a carcass or major meat cuts are stamped with an inspection symbol using food-grade vegetable dye. After trimming, the inspection mark might not appear on retail cuts such as roasts and steaks. However, those cuts which are then packaged in an inspected facility will bear the inspection mark of that facility.
