Regulatory Cooperation Initiative • Building on the NAFTA experience, encourage U.S. and European health and regulatory authorities to work together to: • Reduce Unnecessary, Redundant and Expensive Regulatory Burdens and facilitate meat trade. • Strive for regulatory convergence/harmonization.
Regulatory Cooperation Initiative • Initiative Currently Focused on Three Main Areas: • Reducing Border Inspection Delays • Reducing Microbial Testing at the Border • Implementing an E-Documentation System for Export Certificates/Shipping Documents
AMI Foundation • The American Meat Institute Foundation (AMIF) is a non-profit research, education and information foundation established by the American Meat Institute. • AMIF seeks to identify technologies and practices that enable meat and poultry companies to produce safer and more nutritious meat and poultry products. • The Foundation also provides resources to consumers to empower them with information to select and prepare safe and nutritious meat and poultry products for their families.
AMI Education Conferences • AMI and the AMI Foundation sponsor annual education conferences, topical workshops, award programs, committee meetings and an annual trade show. Every event is an opportunity for industry processors, suppliers and press to learn, network and take back valuable solutions.
Employment/Wages • In 2011 there were over 500,000 workers directly employed in the U.S. meat and poultry packing and processing industries. • Their combined salaries totaled more than $19 billion. • The meat and poultry industry impacts firms in all 509 sectors of the U.S. economy, in every state and congressional district in the country. • Industry’s economic “ripple effect” generates $832.4 billion annually to the U.S. economy or roughly 6% of the entire GDP.
OSHA • Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 developed to ensure safe working conditions for all employees in all industries • Because the meat and poultry industry is labor intensive and because meat processing requires sharp tools and repetitive motion, selecting proper equipment for the job is critical and required by OSHA standards.
Animal Handling • AMI works closely with Dr. Temple Grandin • Developed the “AMI Audit.” Criteria includes: • Livestock vocalizations that may indicate stress • Slips and falls that can cause injury • The accuracy of stunning • The effectiveness of stunning techniques in animals that are insensitive to pain • The use of electric prods • Animal Care and Handling Annual Conference • AMI members share information on how to enhance animal welfare • Website: www.animalhandling.org
Customer Outreach • Examples of AMI’s Customer Outreach Efforts Include: • Meat & Poultry Facts Booklet • MeatMattersInfo.org • SafeFoodInc.com • SustainableMeatIndustry.org • CornforFoodnotFuel.com • Glass Walls Project with Temple Grandin
Meat MythCrushers • Fewer than five percent of Americans live on farms. The majority are separated from farming by multiple generations. • Americans are vulnerable to media myths and misinformation. • Meat MythCrushers goal is to crush the myths and provide referenced facts to make informed choices that are right for the consumer.
