A broiler carcass that is missing both wing tips and tail, with no other defects, is classified as what USDA grade?

  1. Grade A

  2. Grade B

  3. Grade C

  4. Grade D

The correct answer is: Grade A

A broiler carcass that has both wing tips and the tail missing, with no other defects, is classified as Grade A by the USDA. This classification is significant because Grade A broilers must meet specific criteria regarding overall appearance, quality, and conformation. Missing small parts such as wing tips and the tail does not significantly affect the overall quality of the meat, so the carcass can still be considered Grade A. Grade A entails that the bird is free from any substantial defects and has a good shape and firm flesh. The presence of minimal defects, like missing extremities, does not detract from the carcass’s meat yield or usability and is acceptable for this grade. In contrast, higher-grade classifications like Grade B and Grade C would include more significant defects or issues affecting the carcass, which would not apply in this case.
