Export documents and certifications depend on the product, supplying plant and destination. This page explains the frameworks buyers should verify for a specific order.
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.
Ask for the current SIF registration and any relevant food-safety or religious certificate for the actual plant, product and destination.
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.
