Industry tutorials to update processors on current science relating to meat quality

Summary

AMPC requested that MINTRAC establish two forums for the extension of the latest information (meat science) developed by the Meat Industry Services and other providers nationally. This initiative was aimed at supplementing the information available to meat industry personnel through the Meat Technology Updates, AMPC fact sheets and published meat science outcomes. 
Although these materials are readily available, meat industry personnel often do not have the time to research, locate and read the materials and in some cases, the scientific information is highly technical and needs additional explanation. AMPC worked with MINTRAC to identify some key meat quality issues confronting industry and identify speakers to address these topics at sessions held in conjunction with MI and QA networks. The speakers explained these quality issues and their applicability to meat processing in Australia as well as answering the questions from participants.
