MSA beef

All MSA graded beef is labelled with an eating quality grade and recommended cooking method to remove the guesswork in buying beef for consumers. Assuring the eating quality of MSA beef requires standards to be maintained from paddock-to-plate. All participants in the MSA program are licensed to use the MSA trademark and certify products in accordance with the MSA Standards.

MSA Tips & Tools

Grading MSA beef

MSA accredited graders collate information from the producer, supervise processing standards and collect individual carcase attributes using a uniform set of standards. Results are allocated to an individual carcase and the outcome results in eating quality information for individual cuts combined with days of ageing required and recommended cooking methods.
