Meat production, processing & sales certifications
A commitment to quality and transparency

Our global network of expert auditors with practical industry experience offers a personal and proactive approach, guiding clients through the certification process.

A2A2
A2A2 milk is positioned as “milk as it is meant to be,” offering a fresh and natural product that is a source of calcium. The certification allows producers to demonstrably meet specific customer requirements by providing a distinct choice for consumers. To qualify, milk must originate from cows that are 100% tested for the A2A2 gene and are given natural feed. The milk’s taste and appearance remain identical to conventional milk, requiring no different processing methods.
