Grassfed
Most cattle in Australia are raised and fattened only on pasture. Seasonal and geographic differences affect the style and quality of grass-fed beef. Australian grass-fed beef is seen as an important part of a healthy diet amid growing demand for natural, healthy food in the Chinese market. Grazing on natural pastures, Australian grass-fed beef is low in fat and cholesterol and rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of certain types of cancer. Based on the above reasons, consumer demand for lean grass-fed beef is increasing.
Grainfed
To maintain nutritional balance, cattle are fed energy-dense grains for a certain number of days. In this way, the beef can be more stable, and can strengthen the marble texture, improve the freshness, juiciness and flavor of the beef. Generally speaking, the fat and color of Australian grain fed beef are relatively stable. Unique feeding cycles in Australia: short term feeding (100 to 150 days), medium term feeding (150 to 200 days), and long term feeding (more than 200 days).Australian grain fed beef is highly recognized in many export markets and Australia is known for its high quality grain fed beef.

Packaging of Red Meat
Correct packaging of red meat is crucial to the overall quality and shelf life of the product, which in turn affects the return to the customer/importer. The polythene covering (sheet or bag) must be of a size to adequately secure the meat content for exposure to outer contamination or freezer damage
The methods of packaging and symbols are outlined
Individually Wrapped (IW)
Indicates that the meat cut has been individually wrapped in an approved material, such as a sheet, stock netting or bag. These are most commonly used on larger primal cuts. Individually Wrapped uses the cipher ‘IW’.
Layer Packed (LP)
Indicates the product is packed into a carton containing two or more layers of meat with each layer separated by an approved material. Layer packed meat is most commonly used to layer small cut items (e.g. Flank Steaks or Backstraps). Layer Packed uses the cipher ‘LP’.
Multi Wrapped (MW)
Multi Wrapped indicates the meat has been packed in a single bag or covering and contains two or more cut items. This method is most commonly used for a small and medium sized primal cut items (e.g. Chuck Tenders – Lamb Racks). Multi Wrapped uses the cipher ‘MW’.
Tray Packed (TP)
Tray Packed meat is when the meat is packed into an open container or tray, and covered with a film. This is mainly used in smaller primal cuts or portioned meat. Tray Packed uses the cipher ‘TP’.
Modified Atmosphere Packed (MAP)
Modified Atmosphere Packed indicates the packs (Primal cuts or retail ready tray) are wrapped and are flushed with a mixture of gases to remove the oxygen. The packs are impermeable to gases and retain the modified gas atmosphere around the meat to preserve the meat quality and shelf life by restricting the amount of bacteria growth. Modified Atmosphere Packed uese the cipher “MAP”.
Vacuum Packed (VAC)
Vacuum Packed involves the removal of air and oxygen from the packaging. This creates a vacuum and assists in the preservation of meat and improvement in meat quality due to the lack of oxygen around the meat that promotes bacterial growth. Vacuum packing is adapted to all methods of packing, including:
• Individually Wrapped – Vacuum Packed(IW/VAC)
• Layer Packed – Vacuum Packed(LP/VAC)
• Multi Wrapped – Vacuum Packed(MW/VAC)
• Tray Packed – Vacuum Packed(TP/VAC)
