<![CDATA[The adulteration of beef with pork is a serious issue in Indonesia, particularly for Muslim consumers who are required to consume halal products. According to a Kompas (2020) report, a case of meat adulteration involving 100 kilograms of mixed meat sold as beef was discovered in Tangerang City. This practice not only violates religious laws but also poses threats to public health and consumer trust. To address this challenge, this study adopts a deep learning approach using NASNetLarge for the classification of pork, beef, and mixed meat images. Unlike previous research that utilized EfficientNet-B2 and achieved an accuracy of 98.23%, this study’s NASNetLarge approach produced a comparably competitive accuracy of 98.03%. The dataset used consists of 1,932 images sourced from the Kaggle platform, which were processed through preprocessing and augmentation stages. The data were then split into two distribution scenarios: the entire dataset and a balanced class dataset with 90:10 and 80:20 ratios. Evaluation results show that the best parameter combination was achieved in the first scenario with a 90:10 ratio using augmented images, a learning rate of 0.001, 128 dense units, and the Adam optimizer. The model achieved the highest accuracy of 98.03%, with a precision of 98.63%, recall of 98.40%, and an F1-score of 98.50%. These results indicate that NASNetLarge is effective in accurately and consistently classifying meat images. Image augmentation significantly improved model performance, and the 90:10 data ratio yielded more optimal results compared to 80:20. These findings have the potential to support food surveillance efforts by enabling rapid and accurate detection of meat adulteration.]]>
