Aussie Beef and Safety
Australia is internationally recognized as a country that has not experienced an epidemic. Healthy cattle are raised on safe land that has not been sprayed with agrochemicals or insecticides. Since the 60s, for the sake of farm identification and traceability a variety of programs, such as individual identification, have been created. A quarantine officer from Australia’s Quarantine and Inspection Service is permanently stationed at all slaughterhouses and processing factories and carries out strict hygiene inspections. Only meat that passes inspection and receives an internationally recognized “Sanitary Certificate” is shipped.
