The meat inspection service

Abstract

The Slaughtering Ordinance 1964 lays down strict laws covering the slaughtering and handling of meat. These laws apply to all meat that is to be sold. Meat that is slaughtered under conditions which do not conform to the Ordinance must be given away, not sold. Slaughterhouses are licensed by D.A.S.F. and are supervised by qualified meat inspectors who ensure that all meat leaving the premises is of acceptable quality.
