This site is a joint initiative between Safe Meat and Meat & Livestock Australia.

Safe Meat

The Australian Government has established a partnership body, Safe Meat, to ensure that red meat products achieve the highest standards of safety and hygiene from farm to consumer and to provide strategic direction and policy advice to the red meat industry. Every sector of the red meat production chain in Australia is represented on Safe Meat, from cattle and sheep producers, to processors, to meat and livestock exporters, to government representatives.

This Safe Meat website covers issues relating to meat safety, traceability and animal welfare in the Australian red meat and livestock industry.
