Bord Bia to launch new processor standard
The standards are developed by Bord Bia, in consultation with farm organisations, Teagasc, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland, the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, and other regulatory experts.
Bord Bia has developed a new Food Processor Standard (FPS), requiring processors to submit a sustainability plan for the next three to five years.
The new standard, which is designed to ensure adherence to best practice in food processing from intake through to dispatch, combines and replaces the Meat Processor Quality Assurance Standard (MPQAS) and the Prepared Fruit and Vegetable Standard (PFVS).
