MLA PROJECT L.MSG.2604 - Red Meat Industry Data Reporting and Feedback Data Standards Development

MLA have commissioned a project that is focused on Red Meat Industry Data Reporting and Feedback Data Standards as part of the industry drive to deliver productivity uplift for the Australian red meat Industry.

This "whole of the red meat industry" project operates through the Red Meat Supply Chain Committee (RMSCC) with reporting to the Australian Meat Industry Language and Standards Committee (AMILSC) for endorsement of any project recommendations and outcomes. The RMSCC is an existing steering committee with representation from all peak industry bodies, DAFF, ISC and industry representatives, and seeks to be the red meat supply chains’ point of contact on the reporting of information standards to the AMILSC.

Meat Messaging

The "Meat Messaging" system is based on the GS1 standards for numbering and barcoding of meat products and the GS1 EANCOM electronic message standards. Refer to the GS1 organisation in your country for details on the GS1 standards.

The "Meat Messaging" system is an online tool for the creation, sending, receiving, attestation statements and compliance declaration of meat products (carton, carcases, carcase portions, pallets, bulk packs and containers) GS1 EANCOM messages. These messages assist regulatory authorities with the authenticity, verification and traceability of meat products. The GS1 barcoding standards and GS1 EANCOM electronic message standards do not replace existing regulatory requirements, they assist and supplement these requirements.

For more details on regulations on export eligibility and requirement for export contact the relevant government representatives in your country.
