About the ABP Standard

The Scheme is accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service to the European Product Certification Standard EN45011, which further demonstrates its independence and integrity.

Participation in Assured British Pigs is one of the qualifications required for pigmeat to be sold with the MLC’s Quality Standard Mark and the Scheme is also a qualifying Scheme for Assured Food Standards’ British Farm Standard (Red Tractor) Logo. When the Red Tractor is used on pigmeat products, it will appear alongside the Quality Standard Mark.

The Current Production Standard

The current version of the standard reflects changes in legislation, the development of animal feed assurance and clarifies some key requirements of the Scheme. Participation in this Scheme helps to build lasting consumer confidence in British pigmeat and thereby helps to secure a future for British pig farming.
