Pork is graded under the Japan Meat Grading Association’s pork carcass standard, in five grades: Gokujō (極上), Jō (上), Chū (中), Nami (並) and Tōgai (等外, substandard). The same standard applies regardless of breed, age or sex. Pork grading (pork carcass standard) →
The prefecture's brand headquarters (P006) words its standard differently: meat plants with HACCP or ISO certification, and sales under contract. Both sources require a grade of “Chū” or higher. Besides the council, the headquarters lists Kirishima Dream Farm Co., Ltd. and Japan Meat Co., Ltd. as certified producing groups.
