The National Feedlot Accreditation Scheme (NFAS) is an independently audited quality assurance program for the Australian lotfeeding industry that was initiated by the Australian Lot Feeders' Association (ALFA) and is managed by AUS-MEAT through the Feedlot Industry Accreditation Committee (FLIAC). The sourcing of livestock from NFAS Accredited feedlots is a prerequisite for beef processed in AUS-MEAT Accredited Processing Establishments being marketed as grain fed (GF) or grain fed young beef (GFYG) or grain fed finished (GFF).
