Red Tractor Standards revised

 - Published:  26 September, 2011

The Red Tractor Assurance (RTA) scheme standards for beef and lamb, pigs and poultry have been revised, with changes to be introduced from 1 October 2011.

The revisions are being implemented following a review of the standards, which involved experts from across the industry and farming sectors and included a public consultation in spring 2011. These reviews are carried out regularly to ensure the standards continue to be in line with legislation and reflect good practice, consistent with industry needs and expectations.

David Clarke, CEO at Red Tractor Assurance, said: “At Red Tractor, we’re committed to ensuring high standards in food and farming. This latest review helps to ensure that the Red Tractor standards continue to progress in line with the latest industry needs, without adding unnecessary costs or complexity.
 
“Farmers are advised to check they meet the revised requirements and prepare for their audits in advance by reading the RTA Farm scheme addendums they have been sent or downloading a copy from the RTA website www.redtractorassurance.org.uk.”
