Visual monitoring of carcase and carton meats - a system for the 21st century

Australian Meat Processor Corporation (AMPC)

In AMPC 2018-1070, 12 establishments monitored the microbiological and visual condition of carcase and carton meats (bulk, primals, offal), with the data resulting in radical changes in microbiological testing, supported by industry and DAWR. However, no consensus was gained on an improved way of monitoring visual contamination of carcase and...

Contemporary chemical lean validation – national standard for measurement

Australian Meat Processor Corporation (AMPC)

It is proposed that an interlaboratory comparison is done to validate the performance for methods used for CL determination by Australian domestic and overseas facilities. An interlaboratory comparison is a recognised way to understand, as well as validate, a method’s performance, which can be assessed using a consensus value approach...
