This is a non-accredited independent retail scheme.
This Scheme is aimed at independent retail butchers within the UK, whose premises must meet the operating Standards for Hygiene and Quality as defined by the Guild of Q Butchers. Both Standards have been developed to ensure the maintenance of high standards and are reviewed regularly in the context of developing practice, market demand and changes to relevant legislation.
Observance of the Standards is a continuous process, and it is essential that butchers meet the legal obligations placed on their business. Adherence to the Hygiene Standard will ensure that participants in the Scheme are meeting as a minimum the legal requirements. Furthermore, meeting the requirements of the Quality Standard will demonstrate to their customers that members of the Guild of Q Butchers Scheme and their staff care about the quality of their business activities and the products they are selling.
EFSIS manages the inspection programme and the issuing of the Certificates on behalf of the Guild of Quality Butchers Scheme. A Certificate of Conformity is only issued to participants of the scheme who have been able to demonstrate that they have achieved a satisfactory level of compliance in both the Hygiene and Quality Standards.
Surveillance Inspections are undertaken approximately every 18 months.
All promotional and administration activities are handled by RMPR Ltd.
