Clean livestock presented for slaughter minimise the risk of product contamination, protecting consumer health, promoting consumer confidence in the product.
It helps secure Ireland’s and Dawn Meats reputation as a leading exporter of safe, sustainable, quality food.
Farmers, hauliers and processors all have a role to play in reducing the risk of food contamination following the transport of livestock.
Unsuitable cattle hides presented at slaughter may result in cattle being downgraded or may need online clipping costing farmers money.
