AS 4696:2023

AS 4696 ensures meat and meat products for human consumption comply with food safety requirements and are wholesome. The food safety outcomes for each stage of production are specified in this Standard together with requirements to ensure meat and meat products are wholesome or else are removed from the food chain and dealt with separately. The Standard reflects the fact that food safety risks extend through the food preparation chain and are not confined to the preparation, handling and storage of end products.
