Dairy RMP templates
RMP template farm dairies – domestic supply
The processing of dairy material, including the harvesting milk from milking animals, must comply with the requirements of the Animal Products Act 1999. This Act requires that the processing activities at the farm dairy are covered by a RMP registered by MPI. Section 17A of the Act allows for multiple farm dairy operators to come under the same RMP provided certain criteria are met.
This risk management programme (RMP) template applies to the milk harvesting and storage activities at farm dairies.
