Storage, handling and transport

10.1        The temperature requirements of subparagraphs 15.2(a)(i) and 15.2(a)(ii) of the Australian Meat Standard are taken to be complied with if the meat and meat products concerned are stored and handled at a temperature of no warmer than 7°C on any of their surfaces.
