Meat Safety and Accountability Act of 2010 - Amends the Federal Meat Inspection Act to require the Secretary to implement sampling protocols to enable Food Safety and Inspection Service personnel to rapidly trace potential adulteration and contamination of meat and meat food products by enteric foodborne pathogens to possible preceding adulteration and contamination sources, including preparation, packaging, and slaughtering establishments, to determine the original contamination source. Requires, if a meat or meat food product sample tests positive for enteric foodborne pathogen contamination, a trace to identify: (1) adulteration and contamination sites, including preparation, packaging, and slaughtering establishments; and (2) the original adulteration or contamination source.
