Dmitrogorsk meat processing plant has passed the first stage of international certification of the system

In 2023, Dmitrogorsk MEAT Processing Plant (part of Agropromkomplektatsiya Group of Companies) received the GOST R iso 22000-2019 certificate from SGS. In 2024 , it is planned to switch to certification to the International Standard FSSC 22000 version 6.0 from SGS.

FSSC 22000 version 6.0 provides many benefits, including increased customer satisfaction, expansion of activities in RUSSIA and on the foreign market as a reliable supplier of high-quality and safe products. The first stage of certification has been successfully completed. The final stage is expected, following which a certificate will be issued confirming the requirements of the standard.

“This procedure is voluntary, which additionally confirms the compliance of the Dmitrogorsk Meat Processing Plant with the norms of legislation, standardization and international requirements for food enterprises,” notes Maria Shikina, DIRECTOR of the Quality Department of Agropromkomplektatsiya Group of Companies.

This certification scheme covers a process approach to the development and implementation of a management system with an emphasis on risk-oriented thinking at all stages and in the system as a whole — both at the organizational and operational levels.

The Agropromkomplektatsiya Group of Companies is one of the leading agro-industrial associations in Russia, the leader of the domestic agro-industrial complex in MILK and meat production.
