Letter to the Editor Meat Inspection Technology Research Dear Editor Arthur Andersen and Company and Hassall and Associates Pty. Ltd. have been given the responsibility of conducting a major study, commissioned by the Australian Meat and Livestock Research and Development Corporation, into the basis for, the purpose and conduct of, meat inspection in Australia. We have to undertake a thorough re-examination of current procedures to determine those which are necessary to maintain public and animal health, those necessary to meet the various national and international market requirements, and their relevance to the 1980's and beyond. Additionally, we have to examine recent and current research which may be applicable tO meat inspection, to meat identification, to package security, to quality assurance, to public health, and to national animal health. Such research will involve the output of many different disciplines, and may include advances in processing technology, microbiology, rapid diagnostic procedures, meat science, batch coding, temperature sensitive indicator labelling, risk assessment and so on. I am writing to you to ask you for your assistance. We are anxious to identify and correspond with authorities and researchers in the various related fields. I would be very grateful if you would consider publishing this letter in the next issue of your journal stating that once again we would be very grateful if researchers would contact me, and tell me of their research, supplying reprints, if possible. I hope you are able to assist. DR. JOHN KINGSTON B VSc BPharm. M A A A C . Hassall and Associates Pry. Ltd. P.O. Box 405, Spring Hill, Queensland 4000, Australia
