The South African Regulations outline the standards and requirements for the classification and labelling of meat products intended for sale within South Africa. These regulations establish criteria for categorizing meat based on factors such as quality, grade, and origin. Additionally, they specify the mandatory information that must be included on meat packaging and labelling to provide consumers with accurate and transparent information about the product, including details such as the type of meat, its grade, and relevant processing information.
