PrimeSafe is a Statutory Authority operating under the Meat Industry Act 1993 and Seafood Safety Act 2003 to regulate the safety of meat, poultry and seafood across Victoria. PrimeSafe was established on 1 July 2003 under the Seafood Safety Act 2003 which expanded the responsibility of the former Victorian Meat Authority to include seafood safety in addition to poultry and red meat food safety. Accordingly, PrimeSafe has responsibility for regulating the safety of meat, poultry and seafood in Victoria. In addition, PrimeSafe is also responsible for the regulatory management of pet meat and pet food. The Authority’s functions include control and review of standards for construction and hygiene at meat and seafood processing facilities. This control is achieved through a licensing and inspection system and audited quality assurance programs to ensure standards are maintained. PrimeSafe also regulates vehicles transporting meat and seafood with regard to construction, hygiene, cleanliness and maintenance.
