Data from the US Department of Agriculture shows that food safety officials rejected 10 shipments of meat from Australia in 2020, due to contamination with faeces or other digestive matter. This compares with just one shipment in 2019. Three shipments of meat were also rejected for the same reasons during the first two months of 2021. Brooke Muscat of the Community & Public Sector Union warns that more meat shipments will be rejected by US officials as the shift to the outsourcing of meat inspection services gathers pace.
