standards to call a certain cut of meat depends on the “commercial zone”. Different part of the world have slightly different definitions. The United Nations (and similar organizations) have many project to create “standards” to facilitate commerce. Size of eggs, colour of vegetables and famously (for EU) the shape of Bananas.
