Summary

This was the first commercial branded product alliance in Australia where the eating quality of meat products is tested on a routine basis. The alliance is delivering a product superior to generic lamb by reducing the proportion of meat falling outside acceptable levels for meat pH, colour and tenderness. All lambs are delivered and handled under a quality assurance program described in the PP Code of Practice. This was the first QA program set up in NSW.
