Why do butchers have yellow breadcrumbs on their meat? (lemmy.ml)

I've noticed and I've never really understood why that when you buy any meat that is crumbed from a butcher in Australia, it is always or nearly always yellow in colour.

Why do they do this and where does the yellow colour come from?

Is it yellow breadcrumbs or just cornmeal?

Now that is a really interesting question. I'll do some research. Maybe that's what it is.

Up here in Canada we have a type of bacon that's traditionally coated in corn meal called peameal bacon - if this (random image from the internet affixed below) is what your meat looks like it might be the same stuff:
