 » North American Meat Association Launches Regulatory App

Understanding the myriad regulatory issues in the meat industry is tough even for an industry veteran. This week, the North American Meat Association (NAMA) is taking a step to put the information within its members’ reach.

The association, which represents more than 600 companies in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, has a new web offering called [Meat Experts (opens in a new tab)](http://meatexperts.com/)

The site and related app are the latest regulatory-focused effort by the meat association, which has assisted its members with information on rules and regulations since the 1940s.

.

“The goal is to build a knowledge base about meat inspection, food safety, and industry regulatory oversight based on incoming questions and the NAMA staff’s expertise,” the group [said in a press release (opens in a new tab)](http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2013/5/prweb10558416.htm)
 announcing the launch.

The association also offers a number of regulatory services to its industry members, including information-gathering, legal guidance, and 24-hour emergency services.

The free app is available for download for Android and iOS; a sample of the app [is available on the Meat Experts website (opens in a new tab)](http://meatexperts.com/get-the-app)
