If retaining the term veal is important to sales in countries other than the Netherlands then young, rosé veal provides amazing opportunities. In comparison to ordinary, white veal; young, rosé veal is attractively priced. Its tenderness and the weight of the parts are equally good. And quality is uniform and constant thanks to the maximum slaughter age of 8 months. Moreover, continuity is guaranteed by the large volumes available making it ideal for the institutional market (cafeterias, schools, hospitals and retirement homes).

Up to eight months old

Meat of bovine animals up to 8 months old is classified in category V. The sales description in the United Kingdom is 'veal'.

Since 1 July 2008, the European Union uses a compulsory definition for veal which distinguishes two categories:

  • Category V: slaughter age up to 8 months old ('veal'), and
  • Category Z: slaughter age between 8 to 12 months ('beef').

The sales descriptions to be used for both categories have been laid down for all member states and national traditions were taken into account. In some countries this solely concerns white veal. In others, such as the Netherlands, where both white and rosé veal are sold as ‘veal’ this can lead to confusion. Especially because white and rosé veal differ in flavour, tenderness and colour.
Implementing the veal definitions and the names for the two different products should lead to more clarity for consumers concerning which product they are dealing with.
