In culinary terms, '''white meat''' is [[meat]] which is pale in color before and after cooking. In traditional [[gastronomy]], ''white meat'' also includes [[Rabbit meat|rabbit]], the flesh of milk-fed young mammals (in particular [[veal]] and [[Lamb and mutton|lamb]]), and sometimes [[pork]].<ref>''Larousse Gastronomique'', 1961, ''s.v.'' pork</ref><ref>Evan Goldstein, Joyce Goldstein, ''Perfect Pairings: A Master Sommelier's Practical Advice for Partnering Wine with Food'', {{isbn|0520243773}}, 2006, p. 109: "White meats such as pork and veal are also excellent table companions for Gewürz..."</ref><ref>Pierre Paillon, ''Secrets of Good French Cooking'', {{isbn|0471160628}}, 1996, p. 95: "White meats (veal and pork) and poultry should be cooked "medium"..."</ref><ref>Elisabeth Rozin, ''The Primal Cheeseburger: A Generous Helping of Food History Served On a Bun'', {{isbn|0140178430}} 1994, p. 19: "Beef and lamb are clearly red meats, while veal and rabbit are white meats; the white meat category has been generalized to include the flesh of poultry and fish as well."</ref> In [[ecotrophology]] and [[Nutrition|nutritional studies]], ''white meat'' includes [[poultry]] and [[fish]], but excludes all [[mammal]] flesh, which is considered ''[[red meat]]''.<ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/food-safety-education/get-answers/food-safety-fact-sheets/meat-preparation/fresh-pork-from-farm-to-table/CT_Index |title=USDA-Safety of Fresh Pork...from Farm to Table |publisher=Fsis.usda.gov |date=2008-05-16 |access-date=2009-09-16}}</ref>

Various factors have resulted in debate centering on the definition of ''white'' and ''red'' meat. '''''Dark meat''''' is used to describe darker-colored flesh. A common example is the lighter-colored [[meat]] of [[poultry]] (''white meat''), coming from the [[Breast meat|breast]], as contrasted with darker-colored meat from the legs (''dark meat'').<ref name="explo">{{cite web|url=https://www.exploratorium.edu/cooking/meat/INT-what-meat-color.html |title=Science of Meat: What Gives Meat its Color? &#124; Exploratorium |access-date=2014-08-18 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160312072452/https://www.exploratorium.edu/cooking/meat/INT-what-meat-color.html |archive-date=2016-03-12 }}</ref> Certain types of poultry that are sometimes grouped as ''white meat'' are red when raw, such as [[duck]] and [[goose]]. Some types of fish, such as [[tuna]], sometimes are red when raw and turn white when cooked.
