Meat Standards Australia
Meat Standards Australia (MSA) is a red meat quality program designed to inform consumers on purchasing and cooking Australian red meat.
It is the largest such consumer researched grading system in the world.
Many factors can impact the quality, taste and tenderness of beef products.
These include livestock management practices, processing systems, cuts, ageing periods and cooking methods.
MSA test each of these factors to determine the impact on the end product.
The result is a score that relates to eating quality – the MSA Grading. This grading is applied to each and every cut of 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.
The MSA Grading system offers complete DNA product traceability from paddock to plate.
