Protect Your Customers and Your Business
Risk Management Programme (RMP) is a written programme designed to manage the hazards, wholesomeness and labelling of animal material and products. Hazards may be biological, chemical or physical.
RMP describes how business involved in processing or manufacture of animal products will process their products to meet the requirements of the Animal Products Act. This is to ensure the products sold are 'fit for purpose' – safe, suitable and truthfully labelled.
In general, all primary processors of animal material and products for human or animal consumption are required to operate under a registered and independently verified RMP.
We provide you with strategic and technical support on food safety matters. We partner with you to improve results in business performance, achieve efficient and consistent compliance, reduce risks and align management systems and strategies with business and customer requirements. We work closely with you developing and implementing your risk management programme that enables you to boost your stakeholder and consumer confidence.

Risk Management Programme (RMP) |
RMP sets out how the food business operator will identify and control, manage, eliminate or minimise food safety hazards and other risk factors in relation to their processing.
All animal products traded and used must be 'fit for intended purpose' and meet the appropriate New Zealand animal product legislation.
A registered RMP is a legally binding document that must be developed and implemented in accordance with the Animal Products Act and other relevant New Zealand legislation.
RMP can be developed from scratch to meet the needs of your specific operation, or based on a template, a Code of Practice (COP), or a model.
