Risk management programmes (RMPs)

If you process animal products, you may need a risk management programme (RMP). Your RMP describes how you will process your products to meet the requirements of the Animal Products Act 1999. This is to ensure the products you sell are safe, wholesome and truthfully labelled ('fit for purpose').
