ABSTRACT The invention comprises an apparatus and method for automatically removing fat from a meat carcass. A sensing station 10 (Figure 1) includes a row of needle probes 16 which can be in- serted into the carcass 30 and which produce an electric signal at a fat/lean interface. The position of this interface relative to a support is recorded for each probe in a memory unit 18, and the carcass is then passed to a cutting section 11 where it is drawn over a knife blade 24. The height of the knife blade is adjustable by a servo-motor 27 controlled from the memory unit, and as the carcass is pulled over the knife, information from the memory unit is progressively released to adjust the knife so that the cut through the carcass follows the-previously-sensed fat line.
