Pork
The Meat Buyers Guide NAMP (National Association of Meat Purveyors) and the IMPS (Institutional Meat Purchase Specifications) use identical specs, but the IMPS is put out by a government agency and is free. Click on the USDA IMPS for Fresh Pork link to download a PDF version of the Pork file which includes NAMP/IMPS item numbers and descriptions of the cuts. It will open in a new window, but it is a 1 MB file so it may take a minute to download.
Offal Specs
For Pork Offal click on USDA IMPS for Variety Meats which also includes offal for Beef, Lamb, Veal, Cured, Smoked, Sausages and other by-products.
