Every export shipment is supported by the food-safety, regulatory and religious certifications required by the destination market. This page summarises the standards we operate under and how to verify them.
This page is maintained by Brazil Prime Foods Export. The standards described are independent third-party frameworks; this content is not itself a certification. Please request the current dated certificates for the specific plant and product covering your purchase order.
Brazil's regulatory framework is among the most stringent in global agri-export. Our partner plants combine government inspection with internationally recognised food-safety and religious certifications.
Every animal-protein plant we source from in Brazil must hold a valid SIF registration issued by MAPA (Ministério da Agricultura e Pecuária). SIF authorises a facility for inter-state and export trade and is a prerequisite for shipment to most destination markets.
MAPA, SIF establishments registryHACCP is the internationally recognised framework for identifying, evaluating and controlling food-safety hazards across slaughter, processing, freezing and loading. All partner plants operate documented HACCP plans audited by their certifying body and by destination-market authorities.
Codex Alimentarius, HACCP principlesISO 22000 sets the global standard for an end-to-end food safety management system, combining HACCP principles with management-system requirements and prerequisite programs. Partner facilities are audited by accredited third-party certification bodies.

Current SIF plant numbers, HACCP, ISO 22000 and Halal/Kosher certificates are issued to specific partner plants and rotate as production allocations change. We share the exact, dated certificate set relevant to your enquiry once a product, volume and destination are confirmed, this avoids publishing certificates that may not apply to your shipment.
Documents typically provided per shipment: SIF plant registration, HACCP / ISO 22000 certificate of the producing plant, Halal or Kosher certificate (where applicable), Veterinary Health Certificate, and Certificate of Origin.
