GRMS v6.1 certificate (**)
The Global Red Meat Standard or GRMS was developed specifically to create transparency around food safety, hygiene and quality within the meat industry. The GRMS applies to the entire production chain, from stabling to deboning, cutting and processing. Transparency at all stages is guaranteed through an independent certification procedure.
As the largest Certification Body for GRMS in Belgium, Vinçotte assesses whether your company meets the GRMS standard. Animal welfare, the working environment and the external environment are monitored and determine whether you meet the food safety and quality requirements for GRMS meat products.
Like other commercial standards, the GRMS standard covers key areas but with a specificity related to meat production.
- The GRMS standard covers animal welfare as well as internal and external working environments.
- The GRMS standard focuses on areas critical to maintaining high quality and safety of meat products.
- The GMRS provides a more detailed basis for the assessment of meat and other meat products.
- GRMS certification can be combined with other certifications such as IFS Food or FSSC22000.
- The GRMS standard is internationally recognised because it complies with the GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative).
