Downey Approves Manitoba Meat Inspector Regulation
Agriculture Minister Jim Downey announced provincial approval of a regulation to appoint certain federal officials based in Manitoba packing plants as meat inspectors under the Livestock Products Act. The move standardizes carcass weighing and grade certification for cattle purchased on a rail grade basis, aligning Manitoba with other major cattle provinces. The regulation, supported by the Canadian Cattlemen's Association and the Meat Packers Council of Canada, requires carcass weighing before cooling and mandates weight and grade information be provided to the seller since 1973.
