Establishment Numbers
The purpose of this feature is to assist people to access Halal Meat within Australia from Halal Certified suppliers.

An Establishment number (EST) is a series of numbers applied to Meat Products distributed into the Australian Domestic and Meat Export Markets. It is a number issued by Federal and State Authorities to identify the originating Processing Plant, Boning Room, Cold Storage Facility or Distribution Centre.
Establishment Numbers are issued for the purposes of Exporting by the Australian Federal Government Department. (Dept of Agriculture, Water and the Environment). Other organisations assisting with the managing of Establishment (EST) numbers include Aus-Meat.
It is important to note that Domestic Meat (Red Meat and Poultry) providers
are not required to apply or hold an Establishment number
Establishment Numbers are issued to a specific Site. If the company that the Establishment Number was issued to changes address, changes name, changes conditions etc. Then it is required to apply for another Establishment Number.
Establishment Numbers are easily identified as a "stamp" number on the section of meat or included on the label.
By viewing the Establishment Number you are identifying the Originating Source of that cut of meat.
It is a tool to assist in the tracking of quality and safety control measures both overseas and locally.
Sorry that EST is not recognised at the moment
